  • 4.3.1.1 · Density

    What is the equation for density? Give units.

    Show the answerHide the answer

    ρ = m ÷ V. Density (kg/m³) = mass (kg) ÷ volume (m³).

  • 4.3.1.2, 4.3.2.1 · Changes of State & Internal Energy

    Name six ways a substance can change state.

    Show the answerHide the answer

    Melting, freezing, boiling, evaporating, condensing and sublimating (solid straight to gas).

  • 4.3.2.3 · Specific Latent Heat

    What is latent heat?

    Show the answerHide the answer

    The energy needed for a substance to change state. It changes the internal energy but not the temperature.
