density EQUATION
mass/volume

ρ = m/V
1 of 28
ρ
density (kilograms per metre cubed, kg/m³)
2 of 28
m
mass (kilograms, kg)
3 of 28
V
volume (metres cubed, m³)
4 of 28
Density of SOLIDS
HIGH
Particles are packed closely together in regular rows. They are constantly vibrating, but they cannot move out of their fixed positions.
5 of 28
Density of LIQUIDS
MEDIUM
Particles are close enough to attract but further apart than in a solid so that they are no longer in a fixed position. The particles are free to move about and have more kinetic energy than in a solid.
6 of 28
Density of GASES
LOW
Particles are too far apart to attract each other. They move randomly at high speed and have more kinetic energy than those in a liquid.
7 of 28
When substances change state...
...mass is conserved.
8 of 28
change of state
a physical change in which the material recovers its original properties if reversed, unlike a chemical change
9 of 28
internal energy
the total kinetic energy and potential energy of all the particles (atoms and molecules) that make up a system
10 of 28
Heating increases the energy stored within a system,...
...EITHER raising the temperature of the system OR producing a change of state.
11 of 28
The temperature increase of a system depends on...
...the mass of the substance heated, the type of material and the energy input to the system.
12 of 28
change in thermal energy EQUATION
mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

∆E = m c ∆θ
13 of 28
ΔE
change in thermal energy (joules, J)
14 of 28
m
mass (kilograms, kg)
15 of 28
c
specific heat capacity (joules per kilogram per degree Celsius, J/kg °C)
16 of 28
Δθ
temperature change (degrees Celsius, °C)
17 of 28
specific heat capacity
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius
18 of 28
latent heat
the energy needed for a substance to change state
19 of 28
When a change of state occurs...
...the energy supplied changes the internal energy.
...the temperature does not change.
20 of 28
specific latent heat
the amount of energy required to change the state of one kilogram of a substance with no change in temperature
21 of 28
energy for a change of state EQUATION
mass × specific latent heat

E = m L
22 of 28
E
energy for a change of state (joules, J)
23 of 28
m
mass (kilograms, kg)
24 of 28
L
specific latent heat (joules per kilogram, J/kg)
25 of 28
specific latent heat of fusion
the amount of energy required to change the state of one kilogram of a substance from solid to liquid with no change in temperature
26 of 28
specific latent heat of vaporisation
the amount of energy required to change the state of one kilogram of a substance from liquid to vapour with no change in temperature
27 of 28
Temperature of a gas is related to...
...the average kinetic energy of molecules.
