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.
