1 Energy – you can’t have change without it! Unit 2

2 What is energy – no, it is not coffee! Energy is the ability to do work, it comes in many different forms: –Chemical – the potential energy that is stored in chemical substances –Heat – measure of energy of molecules & atoms –Potential – energy of position (think top of the mountain) –Kinetic – energy of motion –Light –Electrical – the flow of electrons –Nuclear – the energy released in fusion or fission

3 The big rule! Energy can not be created or destroyed, it just changes forms… Example: –Mechanical  Heat: what happens when you rub a block of wood with sand paper –Heat  Mechanical: When steam is used to turn turbines in a steam locomotive –Chemical  Heat: what happens when you burn oil to heat your home

4 Heat vs. Temperature Heat is the amount of kinetic energy that molecules have, the more motion the more heat, heat is measured in Joules Temperature is just a relative scale of comparing how hot or cold something is to something else measured in Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin Heat and Temperature are NOT synonymous!

5 Temperature Scales Fahrenheit – First Temperature Scale, based on freezing and boiling points of water (32º - 212º) Celsius – Also based on freezing and boiling points of water, on a 100 point scale (0º - 100º) used to be called centigrade Kelvin – not based on a physical object, but on the complete lack of molecular motion (absolute zero)

6 Conversions: Celsius to Fahrenheit F = 9/5 (temp in C) + 32 Example –What is 20ºC in Fahrenheit? F = 9/5(20) + 32 = 68º Now you! What is –15ºC in Fahrenheit?

7 Fahrenheit to Celsius Answer to prior slide = 5ºF C = 5/9 (temp in F – 32) Example –What is 75ºF in Celsius C = 5/9(75 – 32) = 24ºC Now you! What is 20ºF in Celsius?

8 Celsius  Kelvin Answer to prior slide: -7ºC To change Celsius to Kelvin: Celsius + 273 = Kelvin Example: 31ºC in Kelvin is… 31+ 273 = 304 K, Note! There is NO degree symbol for Kelvin Now you… -23ºC to Kelvin

9 Kelvin  Celsius Answer to prior slide: 250K To change Kelvin to Celsius : Kelvin - 273 = Celsius Example: 403K in Celsius 403K- 273 =, 130 ºC Now you… 159K is what in Celsius?

10 Heat - it is needed for change Answer to prior slide: -114ºC Heat needs to be added or removed to change temperature or change the state of a substance. Heat = Mass º Specific Heat º Change in temperature Q = m C p ΔT or Q = m C p (T f – T i ) Specific Heat (C p )is a constant for the substance with the unit of J/kgºC

11 Example # 1 What is the heat needed to raise the temperature of a bottle of water (mass of 0.750kg) from 45.0 to 90.0 degrees Celsius if the specific heat of water is 4.19 J/kgºC? Q = m C p (T f – T i ) Therefore… = 0.75 kg (4.19 J/kgºC)(90.0 – 45.0) = 141J

12 Example # 2 What is the heat released when the temperature of a block of steel (mass of 2.50kg) is cooled from 145.0 to 30.0 degrees Celsius if the specific heat of steel is 450J/kgºC? Q = m C p (T f – T i ) Therefore… = 2.50 kg (450 J/kgºC)(30.0 -145.0 ) -1.3x10 5 J (the negative sign means released)
