Study Notes
Heating and Cooling
- Heating a substance means energy is transferred to the substance, resulting in a gain of energy.
- Cooling a substance means energy is transferred from the substance, resulting in a loss of energy.
- Energy transfer affects the speed of atoms/molecules, which is detected as a change in temperature.
Temperature
- Temperature is a measurement of the average speed of atoms/molecules.
- Faster-moving atoms/molecules result in a higher temperature.
- Slower-moving atoms/molecules result in a lower temperature.
Effects of Heating and Cooling
- When a substance is warmed, atoms/molecules gain energy, move faster, and collide more frequently, causing expansion and an increase in volume.
- When a substance is cooled, atoms/molecules lose energy, move slower, and collide less frequently, causing compression and a decrease in volume.
- The atoms/molecules themselves do not expand or shrink.
Evaporation
- Evaporation occurs when molecules at the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state.
- This can happen when molecules move fast enough to escape or when air particles collide with the surface, providing enough energy for a molecule to escape.
- Evaporation can occur at any temperature, and warmer temperatures result in faster evaporation.
