Term

Solids

 

Definition

 high degree of internal order, atoms or molecules are limited to back and forth motion about a central position, maintain their shape bc their atoms are kept in place by strong mutual attractive forces

Term
liquids
Definition

  1. have weaker mutual attraction forces than in solids and liquid molecules can move about freely, liquids are dense and cannot be easily compressed (just like solids arent that way)

Term
gases
Definition

  1. Gases- molecular attractive forces are very weak, gas molecules exhibit rapid, random motion w/ frequent collisions,  have no inherent boundaries and are easily compressed and expanded,

Term
internal energy
Definition

All matter has energy and its called internal energy

two types (potential and kinetic)

Term
Potential energy
Definition
-energy of position
Most internal energy in solids and liquids, is due to the strong attractive forces between molecules
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
energy of motion
All matter has ___ since atoms of all matter are in motion at ordinary temps
Most internal energy for gases is ____ its attractive forces are so weak
Term
Temperature and kinetic energy are closely related
Definition
Temp of a gas is directly proportional to its kinetic energy
For solids and liquids, temps represent only part of their total internal energy
Term
absolute zero
Definition

  temp at which there is no kinetic energy

 

No one can actually achieve this, purely conceptual

Term

In Celsius units, kinetic molecular energy stops at

Definition

-273 degrees Celsius

 

So 0 ° K = -273° C and 0°= 273°K


To convert degrees celsius to degrees kelvin,

°K= °C + 273

Term
In fahrenheit scale, absolute zero equals
Definition

-460°F



Term

To convert degrees fahrenheit to degrees celsius use

 

Definition

°C = (5/9) (°F-32)

 

Term

To convert degrees celsius to degress fahrenheit, simple reverse formula

 

Definition
°F = ((9/5) X °C) + 32
Term
Kinetic activity of gases
Definition
  1. Weak forces of attraction, most internal energy is kinetic energy
  2. Gas molecules travel about randomly at high speeds and w/ frequent collisions
  3. Velocity of gas molecules is directly proportional to its temperature
Term

 

Avogadro's law

 

Definition

-states that the 1 g atomic weight of any substance contains exactly the same no of atoms, molecules or ions.

- states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions must contain the same no of molecules. Therefore, 1 mole of gas, at a constant temp and pressure, should occupy same volume as 1 mole of any other gas.

 Ideal volume is called molar volume

This no, 6.023 x 10^23 is Avogardro's constant. In SI units, quantity of matter equals 1 mole.

Term

 

At standard temp and pressure, dry (STPD), the ideal molar volume of any gas is
