Thermal Physics

By the end of the Thermal Physics chapter you should be able to:

• Describe how energy is transferred between kinetic and potential energies when a substance is heated and when a substance changes state
• Use the equation for Specific Heat Capacity
• Use the equation for Latent Heat
• Use the two equations above together to solve more complex problems
• Recall and use the three gas laws (Boyle’s, Charle’s, and The Pressure Law)
• Explain what molar mass is
• Understand what an ideal gas is and the equations that govern it
  • Understand the difference in the mole and molecular variations of the equation
• Understand the derviation of the kinetic theory model / equation
