Heating Curve Flashcards
The heating curve of a substance
Shows the changes in temperature of a substance during a time period when heating occurs
Another name for heating curve of water
Temperature of water vs time(s)
Temperature
How fast are the particles moving and the measure of the objects internal energy. If the particles are moving faster then the temperature increases and if the particles move slower then the temperature decreases. If the particles maintain a constant speed then temperature remains constant
A to b(solid ice - 20°)
In the solid phase, the particles are vibrating so they are moving. Our source of heat adds energy into the solid causing the particles or molecules to vibrate more, moving faster therefore temperature increases.
Energy entering the system is used to increase kinetic energy of molecules
B to C(0°)
The ice changes into a liquid water or liquid water changes into ice-pure substance
When they change phases, energy coming in is used to not increase kinetic energy of molecules but rather overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together therefore they maintain a constant speed making the temperature constant. The particles spread apart as they break the forces. Thus is now melting.
C
Is now in liquid phase
C to d
Particles use the energy entering the system to move faster and faster so their kinetic energy increases therefore temperature increases
D to E-100°
Energy coming into the system is used to break the intermolecular forces, because energy is not used to increase kinetic energy of the molecules, temperature remains constant the particles/substance is now in the gas phase - boiling point
E
Substance is a gas. So now temperature increases as energy entering is now used to increase kinetic energy
Particle arrangement in different states of Matter
Here’s a concise summary:
Solid
- Particles are closely packed
- Fixed positions in a regular, three-dimensional arrangement
- Vibrate slightly in place
Liquid
- Particles are close together but not fixed
- Free to move past each other, with some random motion
- Have some short-range order, but no long-range order
Gas
- Particles are widely spaced and free to move
- Random, chaotic motion with no fixed positions
- No short-range or long-range order
