Kinetic theory
- Temp  particles have greater speed, and greater Ek
- Particles collide with container walls more often and with greater Force, - since P = F/A, Pressure 
2. Volume and Temperature (**Pressure constant, mass constant)
** TEMP MUST BE IN

Kinetic theory
- Volume  particles collide with container walls more often-
Overall force increases, - since P = F/A, Pressure 
3. Pressure and Volume (**Temperature constant, mass constant)

NATIONAL 5 PHYSICS – PROPERTIES OF MATTER SUMMARY SHEET

Specific heat capacity (c): Heat energy Specific heat capacity values are different
required to raise the temperature of 1kg of for all materials
a substance by 1oC – values found in data sheet
EH = c m ∆T 𝑬 = 𝑷 𝒕 can be used to find heat energy
supplied by appliances
EH : Heat energy (J)
c : specific heat Heat energy will usually be lost to the
capacity (J kg-1 oC-1) surroundings – not all will be transferred to
m : mass (kg) the substance being heated
∆T : change in
Temperature (oC)
Low specific heat capacity –
not much energy to heat (heats up quickly for constant power) but loses heat quickly
High specific heat capacity –
lots of energy to heat (heats up slowly for constant power) but loses heat slowly (retains
heat better)
Specific latent heat (l): Heat energy required Specific latent heat values are different for
to change the state of 1kg of a substance at all materials – values found in data sheet
the same temperature
Specific Latent heat of fusion, lf :
EH = m l Solid -> Liquid
EH : heat energy (J) Specific Latent heat of vaporisation lv :
m : mass (kg) Liquid -> Gas

l : specific latent heat of fusion / vaporisation

The same material requires different quantities of heat to change the state of unit mass
from solid to liquid (fusion) and to change the state of unit mass from liquid to gas
(vaporisation).

During change of state


– temperature remains constant
For change of temperature:
boiling
point EH = c m ∆T
For change of state:
Melting
point EH = m l
“specific”= per kilogram
