The energy of particle motion
What is kinetic energy?
On a heating curve, the sections of rising slope mean that applied heat is going to...
What is increasing KE/particle speed/temperature?
This mode of heat transfer involves the direct contact between two systems
What is conduction?
This phase of matter has its particles spread out and with large amounts of KE
What is a gas?
A cup with no lid can lose both matter and energy because it is this type of system
What is an open system?
A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance
What is temperature?
On a heating curve, the flat sections mean that applied heat is going to...
What is increasing PE/particle spacing/phase change?
This mode of heat transfer involves currents of hot and cold fluids rising and falling due to changing densities
What is convection?
This phase of matter has its particles packed together tightly and with very little KE
What is a solid?
Sea levels can rise even without ice melting, because warmer water has more spread out particles thus increasing its volume. This phenomenon is called...
What is thermal expansion?
The sum total of all the thermal energy of particles in a substance
What is heat?
During a phase change, whether it is solid to liquid or liquid to gas, there aren't any particles lost in this process due to this fundamental law
What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?
This mode of heat transfer can take place over a distance with no medium required
What is radiation?
This phase of matter allows its particles to slide past one another and take the shape of its container
What is a liquid?
A sealed thermos of coffee can still feel warm to the touch because energy can flow out of this system
What is a closed system?
The measure of concentration of dissolved salt
What is salinity?
You have a glass of ice water heating up on a hot plate. The temperature will do this until all the ice has melted
What is remain constant?
Heat always transfers from the system with __________ particles to the system with __________ particles
What is hotter/faster to colder/slower?
When energy is applied to cause a phase change, all that energy can be accounted for due to this rule
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
You record the initial and final temperature of a system. You find that the temperature decreased over time. This is a good indication that heat energy was __________ by the system
What is lost/transferred out?
The amount of energy it takes to heat up a substance (each material has a unique value)
What is specific heat capacity?
You should use these equation(s) to calculate energy gained during the phase change sections of a heating curve
What are the heat of fusion and/or heat of vaporization equations?
When taking the lid off a boiling pot, steam rises and burns your hand via this heat transfer mode
What is convection?
A solid that is a darker color will do this to incoming light energy
What is absorb it/heat up/reradiate?
