Study Notes
Thermal Properties of Matter
- All substances expand when heated and contract when cooled. This change in dimensions is called thermal expansion.
- Linear expansion refers to the change in length.
- Area expansion refers to the change in area.
- Volume expansion refers to the change in volume.
- The fractional change in length, area, or volume is proportional to the change in temperature.
- The coefficient of linear expansion (α₁) is a material property that quantifies how much a material's length changes with a unit change in temperature.
- The coefficient of area expansion (α₂) is twice the coefficient of linear expansion.
- The coefficient of volume expansion (αᵥ) is three times the coefficient of linear expansion.
- Thermal expansion has many applications in everyday life, such as in bridges and buildings.
- Water is an exception, exhibiting anomalous expansion; its volume decreases between 0°C and 4°C, causing a maximum in density at 4°C.
- The change of state involves physical transformations between solid, liquid, and gaseous phases.
- Heat is absorbed or released during phase transitions. The heat required to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature is called the latent heat.
- Latent heat of fusion is for solid-to-liquid transitions.
- Latent heat of vaporisation is for liquid-to-gaseous transitions.
- The rate of heat transfer depends on the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.
- The three modes of heat transfer are: Conduction, Convection and Radiation.
- Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact.
- Convection is heat transfer by fluid motion (in liquids or gases).
- Radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.
- Newton's Law of Cooling describes the rate of heat loss from a body to its surroundings. The rate of cooling is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.
Measurement of Temperature
- Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
- Thermometers measure temperature, typically using a physical property that changes with temperature (e.g., the volume of a liquid or the resistance of a wire).
- The Celsius scale (℃) uses the ice point (0℃) and the steam point (100℃) of water under standard conditions as reference.
- The Fahrenheit scale (°F) uses different reference points.
- The Kelvin scale (K) is an absolute temperature scale. Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature (0K).
Specific Heat Capacity
- Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin).
- It is a property of a substance.
- The specific heat capacity of water is relatively high, impacting many environmental and biological processes.
Calorimetry
- Calorimetry is the measurement of heat transfer.
- It involves using a calorimeter to determine the heat absorbed or released by a substance during a physical or chemical process.
- The principle of calorimetry is based on the conservation of energy. The amount of heat lost by one object is equal to the amount of heat gained by another object.
Ideal Gas Equation
- The ideal gas equation relates the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.
- PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature.
- The ideal gas equation is applicable to many gases at low densities and high temperatures.
Thermal Expansion
- Thermal expansion is the increase in size of a material due to a rise in temperature.
- Thermal expansion plays a crucial role in many engineering applications, such as the design of bridges and buildings, since materials expand and contract in response to temperature changes.
