What is temeprature |
All bodies posses it (Measure of internal energy of the object) |
|
convert between C and K |
C = k-273 |
|
Convert between C and F |
F = (9/5)C + 32 |
|
What does heat cause solids' size to do |
Increase in size |
|
How do you calculate thermal expansion |
ΔL = αL0ΔT |
|
How do you calculate volume expansion |
ΔV = βVoΔT |
|
As tempertature increases what happens to internal energy |
Increases |
|
What are the three modes of heat transfer |
*conduction *Convection *Radiation |
|
What is conduction |
Direct transfer from molecule to moelce through collisions |
|
What are the best conductors |
Metals |
|
What are the worst conductors |
Gases |
|
What is convection |
Transfer of heat by physical motion of heated material in fluids (Liquids and gas) |
|
Do heated particles rise or sink |
Rise |
|
Do cooler particles rise or sink |
Sink |
|
What is radiation |
Transfer of heat by EM waves and allows transfer of heat through vacuum |
|
How do you calcualte the specific heat? |
Q = mcT |
|
How do you find pressure |
Force (perpendicular) / Area |
|
What are the units of pressure? |
Pascal |
|
How much pascal is in 1 atm |
1.013 * 10^5 Pa |
|
If the piston is moving up is work done by the system or on the system |
By |
|
If the piston moves down is work done on the system or by the system |
On |
|
What is the equation of work for an isobaric system |
PΔV |
|
What is the equation for the first law of thermodynamics |
ΔU = Q- W |
|
Is work done by the system postiive or negative |
+ |
|
Is work done on the system positive or negative |
- |
|
Is heat into the system postive or negative |
+ |
|
What does adiabatic mean? |
Q = 0 |
|
What does it mean for a closed cycle? |
ΔU = 0 So Q=W |
|
What does the 2nd law of thermodynamics state |
Entropy of the system and enviornment together will either increase or stay the same Will not change during a totally reversible process but will increase during an irreversible process |
|
How to calculate entropy |
ΔS=Q/T |
