unified atomic mass units (u).

carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12.0000 u

Term
Express unified atomic mass units (u). in kilograms
Definition
=1.6605 x 10-27
Term
 define Brownian motion
Definition
the jittery motion of tiny flecks in water; these are the result of collisions with individual water molecules.
Term

Most materials _____ when they are heated

Most materials _____ when they are cooled down

Definition

expand

contract

Term
The freezing point of water is (F & C) 
Definition

32 F

0 C

Term

the boiling point of water is

C & F

Definition
 100°C, or 212°F
Term
Describe the concept of Thermal Equilibrium 
Definition
When 2 objects placed in thermal contact will eventually come to the same temperature. 
Term
What is the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
Definition
The zeroth law of thermodynamics says that if two objects are each in equilibrium with a third object, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other
Term
An object can expand linearly when
Definition
when an object is heated.
Term
If you heat a thin circular ring in the oven, does the hole's ring get smaller or bigger?
Definition
Yes, when the ring is heated , the ENTIRE circle will expand with the rest of the material.
Term

Volume expansion:β is the coefficient of volume expansion.


For uniform solids β is approximatly equal to 

 
Definition

3a

(B is 3x bigger than alpha which is for linear expansion)

Term

Thermal Expansion & Water

what is the lowest temp that water can maintain its minimum volume?

what happens if the temp falls lower than that?

Definition

1. 4C

2.As it cools further, it expands, as anyone who has left a bottle in the freezer to cool and then forgets about it can testify.

Term
What is thermal stress?
Definition

If a  material is fixed at its ends and therefore isunable to expand when the temperature changes. It will then experience large compressive or tensilestress 

Term
what is boyle's law?
Definition

the volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure as long as the temperature is constant.

↑P, ↓V

Term
The volume is linearly proportional to the temperature,as longs as.... 
Definition
the temperature is somewhat above the condensation point and the pressure is constant
Term
What is absolute zero?
Definition
the volume becomes zero at 273.15°C
Term
The concept of absolute zero allows us to define a third temperature scale – the absolute , or ------ scale
Definition

Kelvin

(This scale starts with 0 K at absolute zero, but otherwise is the same as the Celsius scale)

Term

The kelvin sclae:

1. freezing point of water 

2.the boiling point is

Definition

1.  273.15 K

2. 373.15 K

Term
Finally, when the volume is constant, the pressure is
Definition

directly proportional to the temperature

(p=T)

Term
A mole (mol) is defined 
Definition

as the number of grams of a substance that is numerically equal to the molecular mass of the substance

1 mol H2 has a mass of 2 g

Term

How to calc the number of moles in a certain mass of material

(formula)

Definition
n (mol)= mass (grams)/molecular mass g/mol
Term
The Ideal Gas Law
Definition

PV=nRT

n :# of moles

R : universal gas constant

8.315 J/ (mol•K)

0.0821 (L• atm)/ (mol•K)

1.99 calories/(mol•K)

Term

Ideal Gas Law:

Standard temperature and pressure (STP)
Definition

T=273 K (O°C)

P=1.00 atm

=1.013 x103 N/m2 (Pa)

=101.3 kPa

Term
Volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas is 
Definition
22.4 L
Term

The Ideal Gas Law:

If the amount of gas does not change

write the formula

Definition

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

Always measure T in Kelvins

Pressure must be in absolute pressure:

 (in atm)

 

Term

the number of molecules in 1 mole is the same for all gases. That number is called Avogadro’s number

(write it)

Definition
6.023 x 1023
Term

Ideal Gas Law:

in Terms of Molecules Avogadro’s Number

Definition

PV=NkT

where:

N:# number of moles of a gas x Avogadro’s number

 k : Boltzmann’s constant.
 k:R/NA = 8.315 J /mol• K /6.02 x 1023/mol

= 1.38 x10-23 J/K

Term
A PT diagram is called a 
Definition
phase diagram
Term
The solid-liquid transition is 
Definition
melting or freezing
Term
the liquid-vapor transition is 
Definition
boiling or condensing
Term
solid-vapor transition is 
Definition
sublimation
Term
The triple point is the 
Definition

point where all three phases can coexist in equilibrium.

Term
evaporate
Definition
occurs when the fastest moving molecules escape from the surface of a liquid
Term
The inverse process of evaporation  is called  
Definition
condensation
Term

When the evaporation and condensation processes are in _______, the vapor just above the liquid is said to be ________, and its pressure is the _________.

Definition

1.equilibrium

2.saturated

3.saturated vapor pressure

Term
The saturated vapor pressure ______ with temperature.
Definition
increases
Term
A liquid boils when 
Definition
its saturated vapor pressure equals the external pressure
Term
Partial pressure 
Definition
is the pressure each component of a mixture of gases would exert if it were the only gas present. The partial pressure of water in the air can be as low as zero, and as high as the saturated vapor pressure at that temperature.
