The Kinetic Theory of Matter

• Kinetic theory of matter:– Matter is made up of tiny particles (atoms or

molecules) that are always in motion.

• Thermal energy:– The total energy (kinetic and potential) of the

submicroscopic particles that make up a substance.

Temperature

Temperature– is the measure of hotness

or coldness of an object (degrees Celsius, or degrees Fahrenheit, or kelvins).

– is related to the average translational kinetic energy per molecule ina substance.

Temperature

• A thermometer is an instrument that measures temperature by comparing the expansion and contraction of a liquid as it gains or loses thermal energy.

• An infrared thermometer measures temperature by the radiation a substance emits.

Absolute Zero

• Absolute zero or zero K is the lowest limit of temperature at –273C where molecules have lost all available kinetic energy. A substance cannot get any colder.

Page 12: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

What Is Heat?

• Heat is defined as a flow of thermal energy due to a temperature difference.

• The direction of heat flow is from a higher-temperature substance to a lower-temperature substance.

Quantity of Heat

Heat is measured in units of energy—joules orcalories.

A calorie is defined as the amount of heat needed toraise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree.

4.19 joules = 1 calorie

so 4.19 joules of heat will change the temperatureof 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree.

Quantity of Heat

• The energy rating of food and fuel is measured by the energy released when they are metabolized.

• The heat unit for labeling food is the kilocalorie.• One kilocalorie or Calorie (with a capital C) is the

heat needed to change the temperature of1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

The Laws of Thermodynamics

• First law of thermodynamics:– Whenever heat flows into or out of a system,

the gain or loss of thermal energy equals the amount of heat transferred.

• When thermal energy transfers as heat, it does so with no net loss or gain.

Page 22: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Laws of Thermodynamics

• Second law of thermodynamics:– Heat never spontaneously flows from a

lower-temperature substance to a higher temperature substance.

• Heat can be made to flow the opposite wayonly when work is done on the system orwhen energy is added from another source.

Page 23: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Laws of Thermodynamics

• Third law of thermodynamics:– No system can reach absolute zero.

pump, for example–the temperature of the system

A. increases.

B. decreases.

C. remains unchanged.

D. is no longer evident.

Explanation:

In accord with the first law of thermodynamics, work input

increases the energy of the system.

Entropy

• Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system.– Whenever energy freely transforms from one form

into another, the direction of transformation is toward a state of greater disorder and, therefore, toward one of greater entropy.

Greater disorder higher entropy

Page 27: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Entropy

• Second law of thermodynamics — a restatement:– Natural systems tend to disperse from

concentrated and organized energy states toward diffuse and disorganized states.

• Energy tends to degrade and disperse with time.• The total amount of entropy in any system tends

to increase with time.

Specific Heat Capacity

• The specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

• Specific heat capacity is– thermal inertia that indicates the resistance of

a substance to a change in temperature.– sometimes called specific heat.

Thermal Expansion

• When the temperature of a substance is increased, its particles jiggle faster and move farther apart.

• All forms of matter generally expand when heated and contract when cooled.

Thermal ExpansionCHECK YOUR ANSWERWhen telephone lines are strung between poles in thesummer, it is advisable for the lines to

A. sag.B. be taut. C. be close to the ground.D. allow ample space for birds.

Explanation:Telephone lines are longer in a warm summer and shorter in a coldwinter. Hence, they sag more on hot summer days than during the winter.If the lines are not strung with enough sag in the summer, they mightcontract too much and snap during the winter—especially when they arecovered with ice.

Expansion of Water

• When water becomes ice, it expands. Ice has open-structured crystals resulting from strong bonds at certain angles that increase its volume. This make ice less dense than water.

Page 37: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Expansion of Water

• Water between 0C and 4C does not expand with temperature. As the temperature of 0 water rises, the water contracts until it reaches 4C. Thereafter, it expands.

• Water is at its smallest volume and greatest density at 4C. When 0C water freezes to become ice, however, it has its largest volume and lowest density.

Heat Transfer

• Processes of thermal energy transfer:– Conduction– Convection– Radiation

Page 44: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Heat Transfer: Conduction

• Conduction occurs predominately in solids where the molecules remain in relatively restricted locations.

Page 45: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Heat Transfer: Conduction

• Example:

When one end of a solid is placed near a heat source, electrons and adjacent molecules gain kinetic energy and start to move faster and farther. They collide with neighboring molecules and transfer some of their kinetic energy to them. These molecules then interact with other neighboring molecules, and thermal energy is gradually transferred along the solid.

Page 46: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Heat Transfer: Conduction

• Good conductors– are composed of atoms with "loose" outer electrons.– are known as poor insulators.– Examples: all metals to varying degrees.

• Poor conductors– delay the transfer of heat.– are known as good insulators.– Examples: wood, wool, straw, paper, cork, Styrofoam,

liquid, gases, air or materials with trapped air

Page 47: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Heat Transfer: Conduction

• No insulator can totally prevent heat from getting through it.

• An insulator reduces the rate at which heat penetrates.

Heat Transfer: Convection

Convection– occurs in liquids and gases.– involves the movement of warmer gases or

liquids to cooler surroundings.

Two characteristics of convection:– The ability of flow—carrying thermal energy

with the fluid– The ability of warm fluid to rise in cooler

surroundings

Heat Transfer: Radiation

• Radiation is the process by which thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.

• A thermal energy source such as the Sun converts some of its energy into electromagnetic waves. These waves carry energy, which converts back into thermal energy when absorbed by a receiver. The energy source radiates energy, and a receiver absorbs it.

Page 54: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Heat Transfer: Radiation

• The wavelength of radiation is related to the frequency of vibration.

Low-frequency vibrations long wavesHigh-frequency vibrations short waves

Page 55: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

Emission of Radiant EnergyCHECK YOUR ANSWERIf a good absorber of radiant energy were a poor emitter, its

temperature compared with its surroundings would be

A. lower.

B. higher.

C. unaffected.

D. none of the above

Explanation:If a good absorber were not also a good emitter, there wouldbe a net absorption of radiant energy, and the temperature of agood absorber would remain higher than the temperature ofthe surroundings. Nature is not so!

Page 58: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Absorption of Radiant Energy

• A material's ability to absorb and radiate thermal energy is indicated by its color.

• Good absorbers and good emitters are dark in color.

• Poor absorbers and poor emitters are reflective or light in color.

Page 59: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Absorption of Radiant Energy

• The surface of any material both absorbs and emits radiant energy.

• When a surface absorbs more energy than it emits, it is a net absorber, and temperature rises.

• When a surface emits more energy than it absorbs, it is a net emitter, and temperature falls.

Page 60: Chapter 6 Lecture Conceptual Integrated Science Second Edition © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Heat

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Absorption of Radiant Energy

• Whether a surface is a net absorber or a net emitter depends on whether its temperature is above or below that of its surroundings.

• A surface hotter than its surroundings is a net emitter and will cool.

• A surface colder than its surroundings is a net absorber and will warm.
