    Explain how a liquid-in-glass thermometer works.

    <p>A liquid-in-glass thermometer consists of a glass capillary tube with a liquid that expands when heated. The liquid in the glass bulb expands, moving into the narrower tube, and the temperature is measured based on the length of liquid in the tube.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is internal energy and how does it relate to temperature?

    <p>Internal energy is the thermal energy of a substance that increases when heated. The higher the temperature, the more internal energy the substance possesses.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Describe the two forms of energy that molecules within a substance possess.

    <p>Molecules possess kinetic energy due to their motion/vibration and potential energy due to bonds between them.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How does heating a substance affect the internal energy of its molecules?

    <p>Heating a substance increases the kinetic energy of its molecules, leading to an increase in internal (thermal) energy.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Explain the relationship between the temperature of a substance and the average kinetic energy of its molecules.

    <p>The temperature of a substance is directly related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules. As temperature increases, so does the average kinetic energy.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What happens to the liquid in a liquid-in-glass thermometer as the bulb is heated?

    Explain the relationship between the total energy of molecules and the internal energy of a substance.

    <p>The total energy of molecules, known as internal (thermal) energy, increases with heating. As the kinetic energy of molecules rises, so does the internal energy of the substance.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three states: solids, liquids, and gases.
    • In solids, molecules are closely packed in a regular pattern and vibrate in fixed positions.
    • In liquids, molecules are close but not in a fixed arrangement, allowing them to slide past one another.
    • In gases, molecules are widely separated and move randomly at high speeds.

    Forces and Distances Between Molecules

    • Solids have strong intermolecular bonds that maintain a rigid shape and fixed volume.
    • Liquids have enough energy to break intermolecular bonds, enabling fluid movement but maintaining volume.
    • Gases lack long-range intermolecular forces, allowing free movement, easy compression, and expansion.

    Kinetic Theory of Gases

    • Gas molecules move randomly and their speed correlates with temperature; higher temperatures result in faster molecule movement.
    • Molecules collide with surfaces, exerting pressure, which is defined as force per unit area.
    • Each collision with surface walls alters molecule momentum, contributing to overall pressure exerted by the gas.

    Pressure Changes with Temperature and Volume

    • Increasing the temperature of a gas results in higher pressure when volume is fixed due to more vigorous collisions.
    • Compressing a gas increases its density and pressure due to more frequent collisions with surfaces.

    Brownian Motion

    • Brownian motion refers to the random, erratic movement of small particles (e.g., pollen) suspended in a liquid or gas.
    • This motion is driven by collisions with fast-moving gas or liquid molecules.
    • The larger particles are nudged by highly energetic molecules, demonstrating the impact of molecule behavior in gases.

    Key Concepts of Thermometers

    • Sensitivity indicates how easily a measuring device detects small temperature changes.
    • Range defines the extremes of temperatures the thermometer can measure.
    • Linearity allows for straightforward relationships between temperature and measurable properties.
