no net flow of energy, objects in thermal equilibrium must be in the same temperature

what is internal energy
the sum of the randomly distributed kinetic and potential energies of atoms or molecules within substances
3 of 22
what is absolute zero
the lowest possible temperature
4 of 22
what happens to the internal energy when a substance is at absolute zero
minimum internal energy(kinetic energy of the molecules is zero) but due to the electrostatic potential energy between the particles not being zero there's some internal energy
5 of 22
when a substance reaches it's melting point or boiling point what happens to the temperature and electrostatic potential energy of the substance while changing phase
temperature remains the same but electrostatic potential energy remains the same
6 of 22
list in order the state of substances from where the electrostatic potential energy fro small to big
solid liquid gas
7 of 22
what is the value of the electrostatic potential energy of a gas
zero because there's negligible forces between the molecules
8 of 22
why is the electrostatic potential value of liquid and solid negative
it is negative because energy is required to break the forces
9 of 22
what is specific heat capacity
the energy required per unit mass to change the temperature by 1k
10 of 22
what's the equation for specific heat capacity
E=mcΔθ
11 of 22
what is specific latent heat of a substance
the energy required to change the phase per unit mass wile at a constant temperature
12 of 22
what is specific latent heat of fusion
when the substance changes from solid to liquid
13 of 22
what is specific latent vaporisation heat
when the substance changes from liquid to gas
14 of 22
define a mole
the amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon-12.
15 of 22
how many molecules does a mole of a substance contain
6.02 x10 to the power of 23
16 of 22
what does the kinetic theory of matter(model) describe
it describes the behavior of the atoms or molecules in an ideal gas
17 of 22
what is the equation of state of an ideal gas
pV=nRT
18 of 22
what is the second state of an ideal gas equation
pV=NkT
19 of 22
what is the boltzmann constant
the molar gas constant R divided by avogadros constant
20 of 22
are the kinetic energy of molecules in differnet gases at a given temperature different
no
21 of 22
what about there r.m.s speeds (root mean square speeds)
yes they will be differnet
