问题
Define thermal expansion.
查看答案
答案
Thermal expansion occurs when substances are heated due to the increased movement of the particles in the substance.
闪卡 2
问题
True or False? When materials are heated they contract.
查看答案
答案
False. When materials are heated they expand.
闪卡 3
问题
True or False? In thermal expansion, the size of the particles increases.
查看答案
答案
False. The particles themselves do not expand. The particles gain energy when heated, so they move around faster which causes the space between particles to increase. This leads to the overall expansion of the substance.

Define the term specific heat capacity.
查看答案
答案
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1 °C.
闪卡 12
问题
True or False? A substance with a low specific heat capacity will heat up and cool down slowly.
查看答案
答案
False. A substance with a low specific heat capacity will heat up and cool down quickly. It takes less energy to create a temperature change.

问题
What are the melting and boiling points of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure?
查看答案
答案
Pure water ice melts at 0 °C, and pure liquid water boils at 100 °C at standard atmospheric pressure. These are known as the fixed points of water.

问题
True or False? Energy is transferred away from a substance when it solidifies.
查看答案
答案
True. Energy is transferred away from a substance when it solidifies.
闪卡 18
问题
True or False? The temperature of a substance increases while the substance is melting.
查看答案
答案
False. The temperature of a substance does not increase while the substance is melting. There is no change in temperature during a change of state. The energy is used to change the state of the substance rather than to increase its temperature.
闪卡 19
问题
True or False? Liquids freeze at the melting point of the substance.
查看答案
答案
True. Liquids do freeze at the melting point of the substance. The state change between solids and liquids occurs at the melting point.
闪卡 20
问题
True or False? Gases condense at the boiling point of the substance.
查看答案
答案
True. Gases do condense at the boiling point of the substance. The state change between liquids and gases occurs at the boiling point of the substance.
闪卡 21
问题
When a substance is melting or boiling, why does the temperature of the substance not change even though energy is being transferred into the system?
查看答案
答案
The energy transferred into a substance that is melting or boiling is used to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction holding the particles in close proximity, rather than increasing the temperature of the substance.
闪卡 22
问题
True or False? Freezing and melting happen at the same temperature.
查看答案
答案
True. Freezing and melting do happen at the same temperature, the melting point of the substance.

问题
Define the term evaporation.
查看答案
答案
Evaporation is the change of state from a liquid to a gas. It happens at any temperature and only from the surface of the liquid.
闪卡 24
问题
True or False? Evaporation results in the heating of a liquid.
查看答案
答案
False. Evaporation results in the cooling of a liquid.
闪卡 25
问题
How does evaporation occur?
查看答案
答案
Evaporation occurs when more energetic particles at the surface of the liquid overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction holding them in close proximity.
