Back

Solid, Liquid, Gas

Front

Which state of H2O has the greatest entropy?

Back

Vapor

Front

What does entropy refer to?

Back

Entropy refers to DISORDER, the unusable energy that escapes a system.

Front

Which has the lowest specific heat?

Back

Metal

Front

Define thermodynamics.

Back

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy.

Front

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is specific heat capacity?

Back

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Front

Explain the concept of heat transfer.

Back

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from one object or substance to another due to a temperature difference.

Front

What is the difference between conduction, convection, and radiation?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, convection is heat transfer through fluid movement, and radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.
