This document discusses the differences between heat and temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance, whereas heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects of different temperatures. The temperature of an object is proportional to the average kinetic energy and speed of its molecules. Heat is measured in Joules and is calculated using the formula q = mcΔT, where q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. The specific heat capacity of a substance indicates how much heat is required to change its temperature by one degree and can be determined through calorimetry experiments.

Heat and
Temperature What is temperature? What does it mean to have a temperature of 0 C? Is temperature the same thing as heat? Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. Temperature is measured in arbitrary units, like Fahrenheit or Celsius. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance. T
= mv 2 Temperature is therefore proportional to the speed of the molecules of a substance. T
= mv 2 Velocity or speed T v
The higher the temperature, the greater the average speed of the molecules. T
= mv 2 Velocity or speed T v
Heat is the thermal energy transferred from a hot object to a cold object. Heat is measured in energy units -- Joules or calories. The heat transferred is proportional to the mass of the object, the specific heat capacity of the object and the temperature change the object undergoes. The specific heat is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 C SI system has units of J/g C metric system has units of cal/g C Heat has the symbol q and is calculated using q = mc T q = mc T Quantity of heat mass specific heat capacity temperature change (T final
T initial )
q = mc T Quantity of heat specific heat capacity The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/gC q = m c T How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 25.6 grams of water from 20.0 C to 50.0 C? q = (25.6g)(4.18J/gC)(30.0C) q = 3210 J q = m c T What is the final temperature of 27.0 grams of liquid water, initially at 0C, after it absorbs 700.0 J of energy? Hint: start by solving for DT. = q T m c Answer: 6.20 C Part Two Calorimetry and Specific Heat Capacity Calorimetry is a collection of laboratory procedures used to investigate the transfer of heat. In calorimetry experiments, one might be looking for a final temperature or a specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity varies from one substance to another. a measure of how much heat something can hold. the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree. Specific heat capacity lab suggestions: 1. Heat a metal to a known temp. 2. Transfer the metal to a known quantity of water at a known temperature. 3. Measure the equilibrium temperature. 4. Use q lost = -q gained to compute the specific heat of the metal.
