Study Notes

Quantity of Heat

  • Heat energy (Q) is calculated differently depending on whether a phase change occurs or not.

  • Q = mcΔT (for one phase, solid, liquid, or gas)

  • m = mass

  • c = specific heat capacity

  • ΔT = change in temperature

  • Q = mL (for phase changes)

  • m = mass

  • L = latent heat (heat of fusion or vaporization)

Specific Heat (c) & Latent Heat (L)

  • Specific heat (c) is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit of mass of a substance by 1° temperature.
  • Substances with higher specific heat capacity take longer to warm or cool.
  • Latent heat (L) is the amount of heat energy required to change the phase of a unit of mass.
  • Latent heat of fusion (Lf) is the energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid.
  • Latent heat of vaporization (Lv) is the energy required to change a substance from liquid to gas.

Specific Heat Values for Various Substances (c)

  • A table listing various substances and their respective specific heat capacities (in J/kg.°C).

Phase Change

  • Phase changes involve melting, freezing, vaporization, and condensation.
  • Lf (latent heat of fusion) = Lf (latent heat of freezing)
  • Lv (latent heat of vaporization) = latent heat of condensation

Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporization for Various Substances

  • A table showing the melting points, latent heat of fusion, boiling points, and latent heat of vaporization for various substances.

Heating Curve of Water

  • Water's heating curve illustrates how temperature changes with added heat concerning phase changes.
  • Q = mcΔT (no phase change)
  • Q = mL (phase change)

Calculations

  • Examples of calculations showing how to determine energy (heat) needed for various phase change processes, including calculations related to changing from one phase to another, and taking into consideration different substances.

Important Definitions

  • Absolute zero (0 K): The point when molecular movement stops.
  • Melting point: Temperature at which solid turns to liquid
  • Freezing point: Temperature at which liquid turns to solid
  • Boiling point: Temperature at which liquid turns to gas.
  • Condensation point: Temperature at which gas turns to liquid.
  • Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The energy lost by a hotter object is gained by a cooler object.

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

  • A collection of questions testing the reader's understanding of concepts and calculations related to heat, phase changes, and specific heat capacity of different materials.. Examples of specific heat capacity calculations, and various problems.
