Study Notes
What is Heat?
- Heat is energy transferred from one substance to another due to temperature differences
- Heat is generated by a source (e.g., stove) and transferred to another substance (e.g., pot and water)
- Heat is transferred through three main methods: radiation, conduction, and convection
Phases of Matter
- Water has three phases: solid (ice or snow), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor, steam, or clouds)
- A phase change occurs when energy is added or lost, altering the phase of a substance
- Energy is required for a substance to change from one phase to another
Heat Transfer
- Heat transfer occurs due to temperature differences, with molecules trying to establish temperature equilibrium
- Radiation: heat energy is transferred through electromagnetic radiation (e.g., sun warming the ground)
- Conduction: heat is transferred directly from one substance to another (e.g., stove heating a pot)
- Convection: heat is transferred through liquids (e.g., heating hot soup on a stove)
Temperature
- Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance, reflecting the energy put into it
- Temperature is measured in three scales: Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit
- Water boils at 373.15 K, 100°C, and 212°F, and freezes at 273.15 K, 0°C, and 32°F
The Relationship of Temperature and Heat
- Temperature, heat, and heat transfer are deeply related
- Temperature is dictated by the heat energy transferred to or lost by a substance
- Molecules tend to get closer together as temperature (kinetic energy) decreases
