True or False: A cooling curve is the reverse of a heating curve - the only difference is the sign assigned to the calculated value.

Study Notes
Heating and Cooling Curves Overview
- Heating/cooling curves consist of 5 sections: two diagonal sections and two plateau sections.
- Two main types of segments: diagonal (temperature changes) and plateau (phase changes).
Diagonal Sections
- On a diagonal section of a heating curve, added energy increases temperature.
- On a diagonal section of a cooling curve, released energy decreases temperature.
Plateau Sections
- On a plateau section of a heating curve, added energy results in a phase change.
- On a plateau section of a cooling curve, released energy also results in a phase change.
Phase Changes
- The first plateau of a heating curve corresponds to melting.
- The first plateau of a cooling curve corresponds to freezing.
- The second plateau of a heating curve corresponds to boiling (vaporization).
- The second plateau of a cooling curve corresponds to condensation.
Energy and Phase Changes
- During a phase change, temperature does not increase because energy is utilized to facilitate the phase change.
- The first plateau is referred to as heat of fusion; the second plateau is known as heat of vaporization.
Energy Change Calculations
- For diagonal sections, the formula is q = mc delta T (where q is heat added, m is mass, c is specific heat, and delta T is the temperature change).
- For the first plateau (melting/freezing), use qf = mHf (where Hf is heat of fusion).
- For the second plateau (boiling/condensation), use qv = mHv (where Hv is heat of vaporization).
Temperature Points
- The boiling point of water is 100°C.
- The freezing point of water is 0°C.
- The melting point of ice is 0°C.
- The condensation point of water is 100°C.
Thermodynamic Principles
- As you move up the heating curve, energy is added (endothermic).
- As you move down the cooling curve, energy is released (exothermic).
- Melting and boiling are endothermic processes, while freezing and condensation are exothermic processes.
General Understanding
- Heating curves are always endothermic due to the addition of energy.
- Cooling curves are always exothermic due to energy being released.
- A cooling curve is essentially the reverse of a heating curve, differing primarily in the sign of calculated values.
