Thermal Properties, Heat Capacity, Specific Heat.

Thermal Properties of Matter

When objects absorb heat (Q) their T rises.

When objects release/lose (Q) heat their T decreases.

Different materials undergo different T for same heat absorbed/released.

Thermal Capacity (C)= amt of heat E (Q) needed to raise a body’s temperature 1oC.

• Water has high heat C,

• takes lots of E to change its T.

• Metals have low capacities.

A little heat E gives a lot of T

Land heats and cools (T) more quickly than water

Why?Temp is measure of average KE of particles.1 kg of different materials contain different:

• # of particles, KE must be spread over varying numbers of particles.

• Weights of particles, it takes more E to move heavier particles.

• Bond strengths, some materials have particles that are easy to move.

Why does water have such a high heat capacity?

Water molecules form strong intermolecular bonds with each other;

Metals have weak intermolecular bonds.

Thermal Capacity (C) = amt of heat (Q) needed to raise an object’s temperature 1oC.

C = Q . Units … J/oC Q = CT

T

Q energy in Joules

T temp change in oC or K.

Define Thermal Capacity

Ex 1: If the thermal capacity of water is 5000 J/oC, how much heat is required to raise its temperature from 20 – 100oC?

Q = CT

(5000)(80) = 400 kJ.

32 kJ

Ex 2: How much heat is lost from a block of metal of C = 800 J/oC when it cools from 60 – 20oC?

Heat Capacity vs. Specific Heat

• Heat Capacity C, relates to objects w/o correcting for mass.

Small C

Large C

Specific Heat Capacity, c includes term for mass of a material. Amt of E required to raise T of 1kg mass of substance 1oC, or K.

c = Q m = mass in kg

mT c = spec heat const J/kgoC

T = Tf – Ti.

Q = mcT Q = energy in Joules

T is positive if substance absorbs E (Tf > Ti ), negative for E released (Tf < Ti ), .

Ex 3. A 45-g piece of aluminum is heated from 25 – 55 oC. How much E is required?

• Q = mc T

• Q = (0.045 kg)(897 J/kgoC)(55-25) oC =

• 1200 J.

4. The SH of water is ~4200 J/kg oC. How much heat will be required to raise the temperature of 300 g from 20 – 60oC?

• 50.4 kJ

5. A metal block has a mass of 1.5 kg loses 20kJ of heat. Its temperature drops from 60 – 45o. What is the

specific heat capacity of the metal?

• 888.9 ~ 900 J/kgoC.

Calorimeters – mix substances (usu. w/water) observe Temp change. Use consv E to calculate.

Experimental Methods to Determine SH.

Mixing substances obeys E conservation :

Q lost by one substance = Q gained by another

- mcT1 = mcT2.

or

mcT1 + mcT2 = 0 .

Throw hot metal into cold water then

Q lost by metal = Q gained by water (+calorimeter).

For solids with unknown c, liq with known c.

• 81oC

6. A 0.05 kg metal bolt is heated to an unknown temperature. It is then dropped into a calorimeter containing 0.15 kg of water of 21.0oC. The bolt and the water reach a final temperature of 25.0oC. If the SH of the metal is 899 J/kgoC, find the initial temperature of the metal. Ignore the heat lost to the cup.

Heating Coil in LiquidHow can we use E conservation to find c

liquid?.

Electric E lost by coil = E gained by liquid.

VIt = mcT+ the cup

7. A heating coil with a voltage potential of 6 V and current of 3 A is immersed in .7 kg of water. How long will it take to heat the water from 20oC to 35oC? Assume the cup absorbs no heat.

Phases/States of Matter

The Kinetic Particle Theory of Matter

1. All matter is composed of small particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).

2. They are in constant, random motion.

3. The particles are so small they can be treated as if they are points with no volume.

Phase Changes of Matter

• Q absorbed - phase changes:– Vaporization: liquid vapour

– Melting: solid liquid – Sublimation: solid vapour

• Q released by phase changes:– Condensation: vapour liquid

– Fusion: liquid solid– Deposition: vapour solid

• When substances absorb or lose heat E the T changes until:– It reaches “critical” T, T stops changing substance

undergoes phase change.

– gain/loss of additional heat energy results in the phase transformation of matter from one phase to another:

Solid liquid gas

Substance absorbs E to break molc bonds. Chem PE increases av. KE does not change.

Heat & Phase Change

• Consider melting: as heat is absorbed T goes up particles vibrate more. The KE increases. At the melting point, particles vibrate enough to slip from their fixed positions breaking intermolecular bonds. More and more particles break solid bonds until all are slipping past each other in the liquid phase.

• The PE of the system increases but the av KE stays constant at the melting (ice) & boiling points (steam).

Phase equilibriumPhase equilibrium

Multiple phases exist at 1 T.

Molecules leave and enter phases at equal rates.

Ice / liquid water: 0 °C

Liquid water / steam: 100 °C

Latent heat is a physical property that describes how much E is required to transform the mass of a

substance from one phase to another.

Latent heat of fusion Lf –heat absorbed during melting or released during freezing.

Latent heat of vaporization Lv – heat absorbed during vaporization,released during condensation.

Latent Heat

describes heat energy (Q) gained/lost to mass of substance (m) that undergoes a phase change is:

Q = m.L

m = mass in kgQ – E absorbed/released in J.L - latent heat (the SI units are J/kg)Lf or Lv.

Some Thermal Values

Ex 1: How much E is released cooling 10g of water from steam at 133oC to liquid at 53oC?

• Q to cool steam 133o – 100o mcT stm

• Q to condense at 100o mLv

• Q to cool liquid 100 – 53o mcT wat

Cstm = 2.01x103 J/kgoC Lv = 2.26 x 106J/kgCwat = 4186 J/kgoC

• To cool steam• (0.01kg)(2.01x103J/kgoC)(33oC) = 633 J

• To condense at 100o

• (0.01 kg)(2.26x106J/kg) = 2.26 x 104 J

• To cool water• (0.01kg)(4186 J/kgoC)(47o) = 1967 J

• Total E 2.52x104 J

Ex 2. How much energy is released when 1.5 kg of water vapor at 100oC is placed in a freezer and converted to ice at -7oC.

Determining Lf for Ice

-mc(T)w = mcTice + mLf ice + mcT liq ice.

Thermal E lost by water = thermal E gained by ice.

Go to evaporation.

EvaporationMolecules leave surface & enter vapor phase at any T.

Evaporation

The molecules in a liquid have a distribution of speeds. The average speed determines the T of the liquid. The fastest molecules have enough energy to overcome the attraction between the molecules in the liquid. They evaporate and become vapor.

Evaporative cooling: as the fastest molecules evaporate, they leave behind the coolest molecules and the average temperature of the liquid decreases.

Example: sweat

Volatile liquids = rapid evaporation.

Evaporation rate depends on:

• Surface area.

• Ambient Temperature.

• Vapor Pressure – hi– Vap press = hi volatility

• Humidity of Surroundings

Boiling

• Boiling occurs when the average motion of particles is fast enough to overcome the forces holding them close together.

• This happens evenly throughout a boiling liquid. You will see bubbles form.

• The temperature is uniform throughout.

Boiling vs. Evaporation

• In the cases of both boiling and evaporation, intermolecular forces between particles are present.

• The greater the space between the particles, the weaker the intermolecular force.

• To break the bond between two particles, one particle has to be moving fast enough to overcome the pull of the other, until it gets so far away that pull is diminished.
