Study Notes

Definition of Heat

  • Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one body to another due to a temperature difference.
  • It is a form of kinetic energy associated with the motion of particles in a substance.

Transfer of Heat

  • Heat can be transferred through three main methods:
    1. Conduction: Direct transfer of heat between particles in physical contact.
    2. Convection: Transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.
    3. Radiation: Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

Measurement of Heat

  • Heat is typically measured in units of energy, such as:
    • Joules (J)
    • Calories (cal)
    • Kilocalories (kcal)
  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, measured in units of:
    • Celsius (°C)
    • Fahrenheit (°F)
    • Kelvin (K)

Heat Capacity

  • Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of a substance by 1°C.
  • Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity of a substance per unit mass, measured in J/g°C.

Latent Heat

  • Latent heat is the energy required to change the state of a substance (e.g. from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) at constant temperature.
  • Latent heat of fusion is the energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid.
  • Latent heat of vaporization is the energy required to change a substance from liquid to gas.

Definition and Nature of Heat

  • Heat is a form of energy that is transferred due to a temperature difference between two bodies.
  • It is a form of kinetic energy associated with the motion of particles in a substance.

Methods of Heat Transfer

  • Conduction: direct transfer of heat between particles in physical contact.
  • Convection: transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.
  • Radiation: transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

Units of Measurement for Heat and Temperature

  • Heat is measured in units of energy, including:
    • Joules (J)
    • Calories (cal)
    • Kilocalories (kcal)
  • Temperature is measured in units of:
    • Celsius (°C)
    • Fahrenheit (°F)
    • Kelvin (K)

Heat Capacity

  • Heat capacity: the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of a substance by 1°C.
  • Specific heat capacity: the heat capacity of a substance per unit mass, measured in J/g°C.

Latent Heat

  • Latent heat: the energy required to change the state of a substance at constant temperature.
  • Latent heat of fusion: the energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid.
  • Latent heat of vaporization: the energy required to change a substance from liquid to gas.
