Final Review (Fall 24)

Front

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Back

K = °C + 273.15

Front

What is Boyle's Law?

Back

Boyle's Law states that when temperature is held constant, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional.

Front

How do you calculate the wavelength of a wave?

Back

Wavelength (λ) can be calculated using the formula λ = v/f, where v is the speed of the wave and f is the frequency.

Front

What is the molecular formula for butane?

Back

C4H10

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy of a wave?

Back

A wave with a large wavelength has a low frequency and low energy.

Front

What is the SI unit of temperature?

Back

Kelvin (K)

Front

What is the definition of frequency in physics?

Back

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What is the significance of the absolute zero temperature?

Back

Absolute zero (0 K) is the theoretical temperature at which a system's entropy reaches its minimum value, and molecular motion stops.

Front

What is the principle behind the conservation of mass?

Back

The conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Front

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

Back

An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom, while a compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded.
