Whiteboard Work 1.The 2004 Tour de France’s Alpe d’Huez time trial was a climb with its finish 1200 m higher than the start. The winner, Lance Armstrong, and his gear had a combined mass of 84 kg. The work Lance had to do was mgh = (84 kg)(9.8 N/kg)(1200 m) = about 10 6 J. a.Muscle is about 20% efficient, so Lance had to deplete 5 times as much potential energy as the work he produced. How much energy did he consume? b.How much of the energy he consumed was not converted to work?

Heat and Phase Changes Our interaction with the world of the small

What’s the Point? What happens to all our energy? How does energy convert in freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation?

Objectives Define and differentiate heat and temperature. Explain the role of heat in conservation of energy. Describe the energy transfer of phase changes.

Heat and work Doing work on an object changes its energy. Heat transfer is another way to change an object’s energy! Work  heat: easy Heat  work: more difficult

Temperature and Energy Average translational molecular kinetic energy is 1/2 k B T per mode of motion. k B =  10 –23 J/K ( Boltzmann constant) Individual molecules can have higher or lower kinetic energies than average.

Terms Temperature is proportional to average molecular translational kinetic energy. Internal energy (U) is total molecular kinetic + potential energy. Heat is molecular energy transferred from high to low temperature.

Heat Units Joule Calorie (cal): heat needed to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree C (or K) = J. British Thermal Unit (BTU): heat needed to raise 1 pound of water 1 degree F = J

When a red-hot piece of iron is dropped into a bucket of water, Poll Question A.the water becomes hotter. B.the water’s temperature increases. C.the water’s internal energy increases. D.the water receives heat from the iron. E.all of the above.

Specific Heat (Capacity) Heat needed to change the temperature of a unit amount of a substance. – q = heat input – m = mass of sample –  T = temperature change Units: J/(kg K) or J/(mol K) Intensive c = q mTmT

Using c The temperature change  T of an object to which an amount of heat q is added is  T = q/(mc) where m is the object’s mass and c is its specific heat.

Whiteboard Work 2.The specific heat of Lance Armstrong is about the same as the specific heat of water: 4184 J/(kg °C). If all the non-work energy he converted in the Alpe d’Huez climb stayed in his 75-kg body, by how many degrees would his body temperature have risen?

Phase Changes

Melting, boiling, freezing, condensing… Added or removed heat changes the substance’s potential rather than kinetic energy Water freezes at 0 °C, boils at 100 °C (well, about 92 °C in Laramie) Not all heat transfer is expressed as a temperature change.

Think Question When are the molecules’ intermolecular potential energies highest? A.When they are together in the liquid. B.When they are separated in the gas.

Phase Changes Potential energies: Solid < Liquid < Gas During a phase change, potential energy, not kinetic energy (temperature) changes. Heating or cooling a changing phase does not change its temperature!

Latent heat Potential energy of phase change (energy required to change the phase of 1 kg of substance) Water’s latent heat of fusion (melting): 335,000 J/kg Water’s latent heat of vaporization: 2,255,000 J/kg

Whiteboard Work 4.During the Alpe d’Huez climb, how much sweat would Lance have needed to evaporate to keep his body temperature constant? The heat q needed to vaporize a mass m of water is q = m (2.255  10 6 J/kg). Solve for mass m and substitute in the values.

Evaporation of a Liquid More energetic jostling = higher temperature An especially fast molecule at the surface may detach!
