The heating curve shows the change of state of a material as more energy (higher temperature) is added to the material. The sloped regions of the graph show how energy is raising the temperature of that state until a plateau (the flat regions of the graph) is reached. This is known as *specific heat*. Specific heat capacity (shown as the variable "$C$" — not to be confused with Celsius of Calories) is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a mass unit of a substance by one degree. For special conditions, $C_v$ is used for isochoric (constant volume) environments or $C_p$ for isobaric (constant pressure) environments. $Q = mC\Delta T$ is the governing equation, where $Q$ is the total energy in kilojoules, $m$ is the mass of the substance in grams, and $\Delta T$ is the difference between the final and initial temperatures of the substance in Kelvin. During the plateau, additional energy is needed to bring the entire mass of the matter to a point where it can move to the next state. This is known as the *latent heat* of the substance and is shown as the variable $L$. The total energy is given by the equation $Q=mL$. ==Pre-Coding Questions Part 1== Below is a graph showing the heating curve for water. Take a look and use the [[https://trinket.io/glowscript/d406d0473c?showInstructions=true | code below]] and then answer the following questions that investigate the relationships between kinetic energy level, temperature, particle movement, etc. {{:repository:water_curve.png?nolink&600|}} - If the particle movement is low, the matter is in the %%_____%% state. - The %%_____%% state is reached as particles exhibit very high energy at a correspondingly %%_____%% temperature. - When a gas loses so much energy it turns into a liquid, it undergoes %%_____%%. - Since particles in a solid are closely packed together, they can only move %%_____%%. - Particles exhibit %%_____%% velocities in the highest energy state. - Solid particles that absorb so much energy they turn into a gas undergo %%_____%%. - At moderate levels of kinetic energy, the particles can move %%_____%% and the matter exists as a %%_____%%. - Lower energy means %%_____%% particle movement and %%_____%% temperature. - Theoretically, no particle movement occurs at %%_____%% °C (0 K). - Solids typically have %%_____%% temperatures than gases. - If a gas is super heated to thousands of Kelvin, it ionizes and becomes %%_____%%. - Increases in %%_____%% result in greater particle velocity and therefore greater kinetic energy. - The Kinetic Theory of Matter says that for hotter temperatures, the %%_____%% of the particles move in matter. ==Pre-Coding Questions Part 2== Using the graph above, answer the following questions: - Partition this graph into three regions showing the 3 states of matter — label each region and shade it a different color. - Identify where the matter changes from one state to another. - Energy is increasing from left to right; label each part of the curve to describe what the matter is doing as energy increases (above the curve) and when energy is decreasing (below the curve). For example, as energy is added, what word describes how the solid changes? - Based on the graph, at what temperature (K) does the matter freeze? - At what temperature does the matter vaporize? - If water ionizes (and turns into plasma) at 12000 K, is this graph an accurate model of how water changes state? - Looking at the heating curve program, What do you notice about the first and second plateaus? what does this say about the heat capacity of water in the liquid vs. the steam state? Which state is more efficient/better for carrying heat? ==Post-Coding Questions== {{ :repository:boiling.png?nolink&600|}} Now that you understand how the program works to show the relationship between kinetic energy, particle movement, and temperature, it is time to apply your knowledge to improving and extending the power of the program. Develop answers to the following questions by modifying and improving the [[https://trinket.io/glowscript/d406d0473c?showInstructions=true | existing code]]. - Do you think the movement of all particles is the same for all substances given the same energy? For example, should a particle of hydrogen (mass = 1.01 amu) move at the same velocity as a particle of nitrogen (mass = 14.01 amu) for a given temperature? - What are some of the key equations you would need to model the movement of the particles? - Which variables are constants and which can change? - How could we show different movement for different types of substances? - How would the heating curve graph look if we used another substance? - So far, all these calculations have been isobaric (same pressure) and isochoric (same volume). What would happen to your answers if the pressure was doubles to 2 atmospheres? How would you model that? Would that affect your entire heating curve or just a portion? What equations relate pressure, temperature, and volume? ===Code=== [[https://trinket.io/glowscript/d406d0473c?showInstructions=true | Link]] GlowScript 2.7 VPython #COLLAPSE LINES 3, 8, 11, AND 16!

Likewise, the second plateau is where the matter boils/vaporizes (goes from liquid to gas) or condenses (goes from gas to liquid) - See graph and previous answer - 273.1 K (0 °C) - 373.1 K (100 °C) - The graph accurately models the changes between the solid, liquid, and gas phases of water, but does not include the process of ionization - The first plateau is longer than the second. This indicates that the heat capacity of liquid water is higher than the heat capacity of steam. This means that water is more efficient and carrying heat; it requires more energy to change its temperature in the liquid phase versus the gaseous phase ==Post-Coding Questions== - No. We know kinetic energy is equal to $\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$. Rearranging for velocity, we find $v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}}$. Therefore, for the same energy level, more mass results in less velocity. - $Q=mc\Delta T$ and $Q=mL$ - The mass, specific heat capacities, latent heat of fusion, latent heat of vaporization will not change. Energy input is an independent variable and temperature of the substance is a dependent variable. - We can show different heating curves for different substances by changing the parameters defined in lines 56-62 (specific heat capacities, latent heat of fusion, melting point, etc.) - Here are some examples:{{:repository:heating_curves.jpg?nolink&600|}} - If the model occurred at 2 atmospheres of pressure, the melting/freezing point would lower and the boiling/condensing point would increase. We can look at a [[https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry_Textbook_Maps/Supplemental_Modules_(Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry)/Physical_Properties_of_Matter/States_of_Matter/Phase_Transitions/Phase_Diagrams#:~:text=Phase%20diagram%20is%20a%20graphical,diagram%2C%20a%20phase%20change%20occurs. | phase diagram]] to see how pressure affects change of state for different substances.
