Study Notes
- Three states of matter include solids, liquids, and gases.
- Each state has different properties.
- A substance's state is determined by the separation between molecules, intermolecular force, and available kinetic energy.
- Solids have closely packed particles and the strongest intermolecular force.
- Gases feature the weakest intermolecular force.
- Matter can transition between states.
- During a state change, temperature remains constant as energy is used for transformation.
- Internal energy represents the total potential and kinetic energy of all particles in a substance.
Thermal Energy Transfers (Specific Heat Capacity)
- Different materials possess different heat capacities.
- Specific heat capacity is used to compare heat capacities of different materials.
- Specific heat capacity is the energy transfer needed to raise 1 kg of a substance by one degree.
Specific Heat Capacity Formula
- Formula: c = Q / mΔT
- m = mass of the substance
- c = specific heat capacity
- ΔT = difference in temperature (final temperature minus initial temperature)
- Specific heat capacity is measured in J/kg·K (Joules per kilogram-kelvin).
Thermal Energy Transfers (Specific Latent Heat of Fusion)
- Specific latent heat of fusion is the energy transferred when 1 kg of a substance changes phase.
Latent Heat of Fusion Formula
- Formula: L = Q / m
- L = specific latent heat of fusion
- Q = energy transferred
- m = mass of the substance
- Latent heat is measured in J/kg
Activities Example
- Crushed ice at -10°C is heated in a container, and temperature is recorded.
- A flat section on a time-temperature graph indicates a change of state.
- Heat changes ice from a solid to liquid state by breaking bonds.
- Fusion is used for phase changes between solid to liquid and liquid to solid.
Thermal Energy Transfers (Specific Latent Heat of Vaporization)
- Specific latent heat of vaporization is the energy transferred when 1 kg of a substance changes phase.
Latent Heat of Vaporization Formula
- Formula: L = Q / m
- L is the specific latent heat of vaporization.
- Q is the energy transferred.
- m is the mass of the substance.
Thermal Energy Transfer
- Thermal energy transfers from hot to cooler areas through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction
- Energy transfer occurs without actual movement of atoms.
- Conduction occurs through atomic vibrations and free electron collisions.
- Metals are good conductors due to delocalized electrons.
Convection
- Energy transfer occurs with the actual movement of atoms.
- Convection explains land and sea breezes.
- Winds are driven by the Earth's uneven heating.
Radiation
- Radiation does not require matter for thermal energy transfer.
- Heat transfers through electromagnetic radiation, often infrared.
