100

A fancy word for heat energy

What is thermal energy?

100

This state of matter holds its own shape and has a set volume

What is a solid? 

100

turning a liquid into a solid

What is freezing?

100

Heat always moves this way

from hot to cold

100
Mass, volume, and density: are they the same or different after freezing water into ice? Explain

Mass is the same, no particles are added or subtracted

Volume and density change- the particles actually spread out, causing volume to increase and density to decrease

200

This is what happens when heat is added to a substance

What is... the particles move faster and further apart?

200

This state of matter has no set shape or volume, and will fill any container its placed in.

What is a gas? 

200

when particles rolling around slow down so much they start to vibrate in place

What is freezing? 

200
What we feel when heat leaves

what is cold? 

200
the freezing and melting points, boiling and condensation points for water

What is 0*C and 100*C? 

300

This is what causes particles to move closer together and slow down/the cause of thermal contraction

What is  subtraction of heat? 

300

The "macro" description of liquids... (shape and volume)

What is... liquids take the shape of their container and have a set volume?

300

On a hot day, water appears on the outside of a cold glass because...

What is... water vapor in the air condensed on the surface of the glass when the heat moved from the air into the cold glass

You place cake batter in a cake pan in the oven set at 350*F, and it sits there for 30 min. When you pull it out, what temperature is the cake, what temperature is the pan, and why?

What is everything is 350*F because of thermal equilibrium- heat will move from hot to cold until everything is the same temperature

300

Solid is always the most dense state, except for this substance

What is water? 

400

This is the property that stays the same when objects expand or contract

What is mass? 

400

the least dense state of matter

What is... a gas?

400

When you add heat to a liquid, this process is sped up

What is evaporation? 

400

This explains why metals are better conductors

They have more free electrons

400

what causes a non-newtonian liquid to change from solid to liquid

What is pressure?

500

These are the properties change when objects expand or contract

What is volume and density? 

500

the most dense state of matter

What is a solid? 

(except for water)

500

Carbon dioxide is normally in the air around us. It has extremely low forces of attraction. It will freeze to a solid at -78*C. If you bring it up to room temperature, it will skip the liquid phase and _____.

What is sublimate? 

500

You place an ice cube in a pan in a 21*C room, put the pan on a stove burner, and turn the burner on. Draw a diagram that shows all locations of heat transfer

burner to pan, burner to air, pan to ice, pan to air, air to ice

A sealed balloon has a volume of 5 liters. Then minutes later, the sealed balloon has a volume of 5.1 liters. What is the best explanation for why the volume of the balloon increased?

The volume of the balloon likely increased because heat energy was added to the balloon, causing the particles to push outwards on the balloon as they moved around more from their increased energy
