Heat
Heat is a form of energy which characterises the thermal state of matter. It is transferred
from one body to the other due to temperature difference between them.
Heat is a scalar quantity with dimensions [ML2 T−2 ] and its SI unit is joule (J) while
practical unit is calorie (cal); 1 cal = 4.18 J
If mechanical energy (work) is converted into heat then, the ratio of work done (W ) to
heat produced (Q) always remains the same and constant.
W

The constant J is called mechanical equivalent of heat. PREP

Specific Heat Capacity Change of State

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of unit
mass of a substance by 1°C is called specific heat.
Q
Specific heat, s =
m × ∆T
The SI unit of specific heat is J kg −1 k −1 .
●
Specific heat capacity can have any value from 0 to ∞. For
some substances under particular situations, it can have
negative values also.
●
The product of mass of the body and specific heat is
termed as heat capacity, C = m × s.
Molar Heat Capacity
The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a
unit mole of substance by 1°C is termed as its molar heat
capacity,
Q
Cm =
µ∆T
Generally, for gases, two molar heat capacities are very
common—molar heat capacity at constant pressure (C p) and
molar heat capacity at constant volume (CV ).
Water Equivalent of a Substance
Water equivalent of certain amount of substance is defined as
the amount of water, which when replaced by the substance
requires the same amount of heat for the same rise in
temperature.
mS
mw = , this supercooled water is disturbed (either by
Sw
where, mw = water equivalent of substance whose mass is m,
S = specific heat capacity of substance
and S w = specific heat capacity of water
When we supply heat (energy) to a body and its temperature
does not change, then the energy consumed by the body is
used up in changing its phase and the process is called change
of state.
Latent Heat
In case of phase change, heat is consumed during melting and
boiling while released during freezing and condensation.
The heat required to change the phase of a system
is proportional to the mass of the system i.e.
Q∝m
Q = mL
where, L is the latent heat, which is defined as the amount of
heat required to change the phase of the unit mass of a
substance at given temperature.
●
In case of ice, the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/gm.
●
In case of water, the latent heat of vapourisation is
536 cal/gm.
Sublimation
●
A substance can sometimes change directly from solid to
gaseous phase, this process is termed as sublimation.
Corresponding latent heat is termed as latent heat of
sublimation Ls . The reverse process can also occur.
●
Very pure water can be cooled several degrees below the
freezing temperature without freezing, the resulting
unstable state is described as supercooled. When
dropping dust particles etc.), it crystallises within a second
or less.
●
A liquid can sometimes be superheated above its normal
boiling temperature. Any small disturbance such as
agitation causes local boiling with bubble formation.
