Chapter 14 Temperature Flashcards

1
Q

How does heat move from hot and cold objected

A

If object hotter than another, there is a net transfer of THERMAL energy from hot to cold until THERMAL equilibrium is reached

Thermal equilibrium is when there is no longer any net flow of thermal energy between them, thus SAME TEMPERATURE

Q

Why is it that thermometers can never hundred percent accurately measure temperature then

However why is it that measuring a human is correct

A

Because to measure temperature you want it to be the same temperature as the thing your measuring, however this won’t happen, as energy transfer will take place lowering the temperature if the surrounding that you wanted to measure in the first place!

2) negative feedback system whatever, energy always pumped out to ensure we correct tempertaure at all times so even if energy is taken it’s fine

Q

Why do we touch things and think it’s cold? EVEN THO ITS SAME TEMP AS EVERYHTING ELSE

A

Heat transfer happens between hand and thing , and the more cold it is the greater rate if energy transfer and so especially for good conductors it feels even colder to touch EVEN THO ITS SAME TEMPERTAURE IS EVERYTHING ELSE AS IN THERMAL EQUILIBIRUM, but because rate of energy transfer is great feel fllld

Q

What is the Kelvin scale formed on

A

Two points, absolute zero and triple point of water (where all three states at certain temp pressure aare in eaukibkrum )

But increments are the same as Celsius (so 1 increment)

Thus 273 increments from absolute 0 and triple point of water

Q

what is Brownian Motion?

what is the velocities?

what is it a proof for and why?

A

1) its the random/ haphazard movement of particles suspended in a fluid (liquid/ gas) caused by collisons with surrounding fluid molecules.

2) this gives random velocities

3) Brownian Motion is a proof for the kinetic MODEL of matter, as it shows matter is made of particles, and that they have KE

Q

how to observe brownian motion in the lab?

A
  • use a smoke cell
    -rthe smoke will scatter light and show against a dark background]
  • ## the jittery movements of the specks oflight are the smoke particles moving in random directions and random velocities due to colliding with ‘invisible’ water molecules

Q

Density of things

A

Normally solid more dense except for water, thisnbevause hydorgen bonds hold them in fixed positions in an open lattice meaning average further apart than when liquid so less dense for same mass

13
Q

What are examples of potential and kinetic

A

Kinetic jus kinetic energy, frim rotational or translational movement

But potential is due to electrostatic forces of attraction in intermolecular bonds

And the sum of this is internal energy

Q

So explain graph of heating ice to a gas using internal energy ideas

A

TEMPERTAURE is just a measure of KINETIC energy. Thus heating will increase kinetic energy initially and thus internal energy.

However once they changing state, energy no longer increases TEMPERTAURE, however internal energy still increases!

  • here energy is not kinetic so temp doesn’t increase. Here energy is transferred to POTENTIAL ENEEGY, so internal increase,

Only once phase changes will energy be transferred to kinetic again and temp revise

Q

What are different potentials of different states. If you hear, are you inc or decreasinf the potential energy

How is a way to think about if something has high or low potential energy

A

Think of potential energy as jus energy transferred from surroundings to its form, so hotter = higher potential energy too and gases have highest potential at 0J, whereas solids have lowest potential

Or like potential is potential to make bonds. Solids have string bonds already so no pot Eileen

Potential is the ability to lose energy, we put a lot in gas, so it has most ability tomlose

Q

Similar to chem, what happens when bonds re broken and what when bonds made

A

Bond breaking require energy bond making releases it, thus when water condensed it releases energy as bonds are made and in general potential energy decreases

17
Q

What happens to internal energy if water as it condenses

What happens to temp of windo

A

Potential energy decrease as bonds are made, thus energy is releases. But as kinetic energy doesn’t change temp stays the same

However this potential energy is converted to kinetic and so the temperature of window increases!
So if blow on window it becomes war, for this reason

18
Q

What has more internal water at 0 or ice at 0

A

Water, same temp so same ke but water has more potential so more internal

19
Q

what is the internal energy at absolute 0 and the breakdowns of energies

A

0k = 0ke
however alwasy some potentinal energy ( going to infinity idea)

thus there is always some potential energy never 0 and thus internal energy is never 0 either!

20
Q

what happens to internal energy and breakdown in energies as you heat something and it Changes state?

thus what happens to internal energy whenever you heat up no matter what is going on?

A

heating, temp increases so ke does, until you reach the melting point

at this point energy is no longer used to increase the ke of the particles, rather break the bonds

so as bonds are breaking, this means the POTENTIAL ENERGY is increasing! (thus internal too)

thus whenever you heat no matter what the internal energy will increase somehow

21
Q

thus how will temp against time for constant power ( thus constant energy) graph look like

when will the temperature increase again?

A

as time increases energy total increases so ke does and temp too

however when it gets to CHANGING STATE, the graph will be horizontal, as now ke constant rather pe changing with time!

2) only after all particles have changed state will temp increase again

22
Q

How do you explain that some water can evaporate below 100?

A

Use a Boltzmann distribution curve, some particles, very small amounts tho, will have enough energy that evaporate at even 0° but very few.

100 is jus temp at which ALL water evaporates !

Thus is why you spill water it will evaporate even tho room never hit 100

23
Q

What is the triple point of water

A

At 0.1 , all three states exist in thermal equilibrium with each other, water ice and liquid , this is a point of comparison for the Kelvin scale

24
Q

Again how can you think of potential and bonds

A

Potential to make bonds = high potential

Already got bonds, low potential

Potential energy to lose

25
Q

What does the fact gases don’t have any potential energy mean about the volume they occupy at rip?
!!

A

volume at RTP is determined by the space between particles, and this varies due to having DIFFERENT BOND SIZE

However as gases have NO potential, they don’t have ANY bonds, thus one mole of gas at RTP will occupy the Sam’s volume NO MATTER THE GAS!

26
Q

What is specific heat classify

A

Is the energy required per unit mass to change tempertaure by 1k

27
Q

Water specific heat capacity

A

4.2g or 4200kg

So 4200j per kg of water to raise temp by 1k

28
Q

Experiment for determining specific heat capacity and gradient analysis

How to make experiment better

A

Use an electric heater to heat up solid liquids and measure TEMPERTAURE against time.

Assuming all energy converted to thermal, VIT = MCaT
Rearrange to plot for temperature against time , and equate gradient to m and rearrange for c

Take means

In order to make better, ensure for insulation between heater and thing etc

29
Q

How to use shc equatuins ti find new TEMPERTAURE if two mixtures or spherical heat capacity basically what assumption (when a hotter is added to colder)

A

1) obviously hotter become colder and colder hotter until they reach a certain TEMPERTAURE they they are in thermal equilibrium with

Assume that the energy left from the hotter is equal to energy gained by colder

Equate and solve

30
Q

What’s wrong with the experiment before giving you higher answers of specific heat capacity
2 reasons + will c be higher or lower

A

1) as you start the thermistor doesn’t fear ckndtsnt heat so TEMPERTAURE readings slightly incorrect
2) as the solid increases TEMPERTAURE, it also increases RATE OF ENERGY TRANSFER SO LOSES ENERGY MORE, thus theoretically it will never be that high. This because change in temp properinsl to initial temp (differential )

  • all this results in a lower gradient, which means a higher specific heat capacity then what ti should be!
31
Q

REMMEBER about higher TEMPERTAURE substances compared to lower, what do they have higher

A

Yh higher TEMPERTAURE ones have higher rate of energy loss too

32
Q

What is latent heat of a substance

A

The energy repaired ti raise unit mass to the next phase

Fusion is solid ti liquid and Vaporisation is liquid to gas

E=mL

33
Q

Why is vaporisation higher reading then fusion, what’s going on with this energy (where on graph)

A

On the graph for phase change flat line represents increase in potential energy, and this is given by latent heat

Vap actually needs to break all the bonds so more energy needed, whereas fusion only needs to weaken them

34
Q

Important about questions using latent heat

A

Say ice put in something, it will TAKE energy required it change its state from somewhere hotter, so work out change in temp of that first then work out how it becomes thermal equilibrium after

Latent heat is same temperature

35
Q

How to work out fusion in experiment

A

Circuit with Hester snd substance, make sure substance ice is at correct temp, heat it and see the v I and the t used , energy electric = ml rearrange

36
Q

How to work out specific latent vaporisation for water

A

Use condenser and same concept, electifcla heater and condense and then measure mass o how much was condensed in collecting, and current voltage and time and rearrange

37
Q

REMMEBER about specific latent when turning into gas or back into solid

A

Back into solid means it release energy but into means it takes

Similar for shc

38
Q

Remember that ICE AND WATEE HAVE

A

Different vs,use for SHC

39
Q

Assume thst when something cools down what about power

A

Rate of energy lost constant so power constant

40
Q

what happens to internal energy and breakdown in energies as you heat something and it Changes state?

thus what happens to internal energy whenever you heat up no matter what is going on?

A

heating, temp increases so ke does, until you reach the melting point

at this point energy is no longer used to increase the ke of the particles, rather break the bonds

so as bonds are breaking, this means the POTENTIAL ENERGY is increasing! (thus internal too)

thus whenever you heat no matter what the internal energy will increase somehow
