    Study Notes

    Heat

    • Heat is a form of energy transferred into or out of a system.
    • Heat is measured in Joules (J).
    • Heat flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
    • Positive Q means heat is transferred into the system.
    • Negative Q means heat is transferred out of the system.
    • Thermal equilibrium occurs when the system and its environment have the same temperature.

    Specific Heat

    • The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of that substance by 1 degree Celsius.
    • The SI unit of specific heat is J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C).
    • This is represented by the lowercase letter 'c'.
    • Water has a high specific heat, which takes a lot of energy to change its temperature.

    Latent Heat and Phase Transitions

    • Latent heat refers to the energy absorbed or released during a phase change.
    • The latent heat of fusion (Lfusion) is the energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at a constant temperature.
    • The latent heat of vaporization (Lvaporization) is the energy required to change a substance from a liquid to a gas at a constant temperature.
    • Latent heat is measured in J/kg.
    • During a phase change, the temperature remains constant even though heat is being added or removed.
    • This energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds.

    The First Law of Thermodynamics

    • The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
    • It can be expressed as: ΔU = Q - W, where ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system.
    • Heat is essential for life on Earth, with the sun and Earth's interior providing significant sources of heat.
