Particle/ molecules and matter/

?
density = mass/volume
density is measured in KG/m^3
1 of 5
change in theramal energy = mass x SHC x temperature change
The specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to change 1 KG of a substance by 1 degree's celcius. A theta symbol means temperature change in degrees celcius.
2 of 5
energy for change of state = mass x latent heat
The energy needed for a change of state mean latent heat. So the specific Latent heat is the amount of energy needed to change the state of a substance.
3 of 5
A gas moves around in a random form. There is no fixed pattern and a gas can be compressed.
The temperature of a gas is related to the average kinetic energy released by the gas.
4 of 5
The higher the temperature of the gas, the more pressure.
This is because as the particles move faster when heated they hit the walls more often and harder.
