Matter, Specific Heat of Matter

At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to:

1. Define specific heat2. Use specific heat to determine energy

changes

Thermochemistry

Some Definitions: Calorimeter – a device to measure the

energy absorbed or released as heat in a chemical or physical change

Temperature – measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter

Joule – the SI unit of heat

Thermochemistry

Some Definitions: Heat – energy transferred between

samples of matter Specific Heat – the amount of energy

required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree or one Kelvin

1 Calorie/4.184 Joules – will do the above with water

Thermochemistry

Some Definitions: Enthalpy (Heat) of Fusion – amount of

energy gained or lost by a system as heat during melting or freezing

Enthalpy (Heat) of Vaporization – amount of energy gained or lost by a system as heat during boiling or condensation

Calvin’s Definition of a Liquid:

Specific Heat Calculations:

q = cp x m x t: q = energy lost or gained cp = specific heat of the substance

at a specific pressure m = mass of the sample t = change in temperature

(final – initial)

Practice Page 12:1

q = cp x m x t: q = 59.912 J cp = x m = 36.359 g t = 152.0 oC59.912 J = (x)(36.359 g)(152.0 oC)

= 0.01084 J/g oC

Practice Page 12:2 q = cp x m x t:

q = -800. J cp = 0.4210 J/g oC m = 73.174 g t = (x – 102.0 oC)-800. J = 0.4210 J/goC (73.174 g)(x – 102.0

oC)-800. = 30.81x – 31422342 = 30.81x

= 76.0 oC

Maxine’s Thoughts on Intelligence!!

Define Specific Heat

Specific Heat – the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree or one Kelvin

Confucius Says:

If at first you don’t succeed…

Skydiving is probably not for you!!!

Practice Page 12:3 q = cp x m x t:

q = -185.4 J cp = 0.440 J/g oC m = x g t = -1475 oC-185.4 J = (0.440 J/goC )(x)(-1475 oC)-185.4 J = -649 Jg

= 0.286 g

Practice Page 12:4 q = cp x m x t:

q = x J cp = 0.0335 cal/goC (4.184 J/cal) m = 152.00 g t = -51.5oCx = (0.140164 J/goC )(152.00 g)(-51.5 oC) = -1.10 x 103 J

A b---- who will find you!!!

Have a Great Week!!
