Heat of Fusion (Hf)
Heat of Fusion (Hf)
The energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at a constant temperature. It's the energy needed to break the bonds holding the solid together.
Heating Curve
Heating Curve
The graph that shows how a sample changes temperature and phase as heat is added.
Heat of Vaporization (Hv)
Heat of Vaporization (Hv)
The energy required to change a substance from a liquid to a gas at a constant temperature. It's the energy needed to completely overcome intermolecular forces.

Study Notes
Heating and Cooling Curves
- Heating curves graphically represent how a substance changes phases as heat is added.
- As heat is added, the substance changes temperature and phase.
- The graph plots temperature versus time.
What Happens When Heating a Substance?
- A substance can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas.
- Changes include melting (solid to liquid) and evaporation (liquid to gas).
Defining Heat and Temperature
- Heat is a measure of kinetic energy (in Joules).
- Heat depends on mass, temperature change, and substance-specific heat capacity.
- Temperature is a measure of warmth or coldness, independent of heat.
- Temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) or Celsius (C).
The Heating Curve: A Deeper Look
- The heating curve is a graph showing how a substance changes phases with added heat over time.
- The curve displays segments, each representing a change in state or temperature.
Parts of a Heating Curve
- A: The segment where the substance is in a solid phase and the temperature rises.
- B: The segment represents when the substance starts melting. The temperature stays constant during this phase transition.
- C: Shows the substance fully in a liquid phase and the liquid's temperature increases.
- D: The segment where liquid starts boiling. The heat is used to change the liquid to a gas and temperature stays constant.
- E: The segment where the substance is now fully a gas and its temperature increases.
- F: The final part where the substance exists as a gas at a rising temperature.
Flat Portions of the Heating Curve
- Flat segments on the heating curve indicate that the substance's temperature is constant despite heat input.
- During these periods, energy is used to alter the substance from one state to another (e.g., melting, boiling)
- These flat segments represent the heat of fusion (during melting and freezing) and the heat of vaporization (during boiling and condensation).
Heat of Fusion and Vaporization
- Heat of fusion (Hf) is the energy needed to completely change a solid into a liquid.
- Heat of vaporization (Hv) is the energy needed to completely change a liquid into a gas.
Summary of Heating Curves
- Heating curves are a useful tool in chemistry, showing phase changes and temperature changes of a substance when heat is added.
- They include information about a substance's state, and phase changes (solid, liquid gas).
