States of Matter and Changes of State
6.4 Lesson: States of Matter and Changes of State
6. 4 Changes of States
- Heat transfer occurs during a change in state.
- Solid to liquid: Absorbs thermal energy.
- Liquid to gas: Absorbs thermal energy.
- Gas to liquid: Releases thermal energy.
- Liquid to solid: Releases thermal energy.
- Fusion: The process of liquid changing into a solid.
- Vaporization: The process of a liquid changing into a vapor.
Heating Graph for Water
- The heating graph shows the relationship between temperature and thermal energy absorbed as ice is heated to become water and then steam.
- Ice warms up from -10°C to 0°C.
- Ice melts (at 0°C) into liquid water.
- Liquid water warms up from 0°C to 100°C.
- Liquid water boils (at 100°C) into water vapor.
- Water vapor warms up above 100°C.
Cooling Graph for Water
- The cooling graph illustrates temperature changes as water vapor cools to become liquid water and then ice.
- Water vapor cools down.
- Water vapor condenses into liquid water.
- Liquid water cools down.
- Liquid water freezes into ice.
- Ice cools down.
Latent Heat
- Latent Heat: The total energy absorbed or released during a change of state.
- Specific Latent Heat: The amount of thermal energy required for 1 kg of a substance to change from one state to another, measured in J/kg.
Specific Latent Heat
- Specific latent heat of fusion (L_f) is related to melting and freezing.
- Specific latent heat of vaporization (L_v) is related to boiling and condensing.
- Qf = mLf where:
- Q_f = Latent heat of fusion (in J)
- m = mass (in kg)
- L_f = specific latent heat of fusion (in J/kg)
- Note: Q_f is used for both melting and freezing.
- Qv = mLv where:
- Q_v = Latent heat of vaporization (in J)
- m = mass (in kg)
- L_v = specific latent heat of vaporization (in J/kg)
- Note: Q_v is used for both boiling and condensing.
Example #1
- How much heat is required to bring 10 kg of 100°C liquid water to 100°C steam?
Example #1 Solution
- Given:
- m = 10 \text{kg}
- Water at 100°C converting to steam at 100°C
- L_v = 2.3 \times 10^6 \text{ J/kg} (from a table)
- Formula:
- Calculation:
- Q_v = (10 \text{kg}) (2.3 \times 10^6 \text{ J/kg}) = 2.3 \times 10^7 \text{ J}
- The latent heat of 2.3 \times 10^7 \text{ J} is needed.
Example #2
- How much thermal energy is required to raise 5.0 kg of -30°C ice to a temperature of 140°C?
- [Note: c{\text{ice}} = 2100 \text{J}/(°\text{C} \cdot \text{kg}), c{\text{water}} = 4180 \text{J}/(°\text{C} \cdot \text{kg}), c{\text{water vapour}} = 2080 \text{ J}/(°\text{C} \cdot \text{kg}), Lv = 2255000 \text{J/kg}, L_f = 333000 \text{J/kg}]
Example #2 solution
- Heating stages:
- Ice: -30°C → 0°C
- Ice to water (at 0°C)
- Water: 0°C → 100°C
- Water to steam (at 100°C)
- Steam: 100°C → 140°C
- Calculations:
- Heat to warm ice from -30°C to 0°C: Q1 = m \cdot c{\text{ice}} \cdot \Delta T_{\text{ice}} = (5.0 \text{ kg}) (2.1 \times 10^3 \text{ J/(kg} \cdot °\text{C)}) (0°\text{C} - (-30°\text{C}))
- Heat for ice to water: Q2 = m Lf = (5.0 \text{ kg}) (3.4 \times 10^5 \text{ J/kg})
- Heat to warm water from 0°C to 100°C: Q3 = m \cdot c{\text{w}} \cdot \Delta T_w = (5.0 \text{ kg}) (4.18 \times 10^3 \text{ J/(kg} \cdot °\text{C)}) (100°\text{C} - 0°\text{C})
- Heat for water to steam: Q4 = m Lv = (5.0 \text{ kg}) (2.3 \times 10^6 \text{ J/kg})
- Heat to warm steam from 100°C to 140°C: Q5 = m \cdot c{\text{steam}} \cdot \Delta T_{\text{steam}} = (5.0 \text{ kg}) (2.08 \times 10^3 \text{ J/(kg} \cdot °\text{C)}) (140°\text{C} - 100°\text{C})
- Total heat required:
- Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q_5
- Q = 315000 \text{ J} + 1700000 \text{ J} + 2090000 \text{ J} + 11500000 \text{ J} + 416000 \text{ J} = 16021000 \text{ J}
- The total thermal energy is 1.6 \times 10^7 \text{ J}.
