Heat Section 1
KWL ,
• Create a KWL that shows your knowledge about
thermodynamics .
• How are heat , thermal energy and temperature
different ?
• What are the different scales of temperature ?
Heat Section 1
Temperature
• Temperature measures the average kinetic
energy of the particles.
– Average speed is used because all particles do not
have the same speed, and speeds change as the
particles collide.
Heat Section 1
Temperature
• Temperature must be measured when thermal
equilibrium is reached.

Thermometers
Thermometers
• Calibration (Fixed numbers on the thermometer)
depends on fixed temperatures.
• Three common temperature scales used:
– Fahrenheit for weather and medicine
– Celsius for work in science
– Kelvin or absolute for many scientific laws

Heat transfer
• Describe the different ways of thermal energy
transfer. ( 7 minutes ).
Heat Section 2
Heat Transfer
• In what three ways can internal energy be transferred
from a hot object to a colder object?
– Conduction is the transfer of heat through a
substance by molecule to molecule contact.
• Metals are good conductors.
• Styrofoam is a good insulator.

Calorimetry
• Calorimetry is a problem-
solving approach to heat
transfer problems.
Conservation of energy
Qgained = -Qlost
• A calorimeter is an insulated
cup with water used for the
experiment.
Heat Section 3
Latent Heat
• Latent heat is heat
gained or lost during
phase changes.
– When substances melt,
freeze, boil, condense,
or sublime, the
temperature does not
change during the
phase change.

Heat Section 3
Starting at 20°C, how much heat is required to heat 0.3 kg of aluminum to its melting point and
-1 -1
then to convert it all to liquid? [Specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900J kg °C ; Specific
-1
latent heat of aluminium = 321,000 Jkg , Melting point of aluminium = 660°C]
Answer:
m = 0.3kg
Energy to be removed to reduce the temperature from 70°C to 0°C (Freezing point of water)
Q2 = mL = (2)(334,000) = 668,000J
