Chapters
00:00 - 00:30: Introduction to Heat of Fusion The chapter introduces the concept of the heat of fusion, explaining it as a measure of the energy required to change a material from a solid to a liquid. The video aims to deepen understanding by discussing calculations related to heating a material. It references the heat of vaporization as a precursor topic, emphasizing the importance of understanding both concepts in thermodynamics.
00:30 - 01:30: Endothermic and Exothermic Processes The chapter discusses endothermic and exothermic processes, highlighting the concept of melting (or fusion) and freezing. Melting is described as an endothermic process, requiring the input of heat to occur, while freezing is exothermic, releasing heat.
01:30 - 02:30: Quantitative Analysis of Heat of Fusion and Vaporization In this chapter, the concept of heat of fusion and vaporization is examined, specifically focusing on the melting process of ice. Melting is highlighted as an endothermic process where heat is supplied to convert ice into water, which can counterintuitively feel cold to the touch. This is due to the absorption of heat from the surroundings, such as from the skin, when ice is in contact, resulting in a cooling sensation.
02:30 - 04:30: Explanation of Heating Curve The chapter discusses the concept of a heating curve, specifically focusing on the process of freezing liquid water into ice. It highlights that this phase change requires the removal of heat, categorizing it as an exothermic process. The chapter provides a quantitative measure of this phase transition, noting that the heat of fusion for water is 6 kilojoules per mole, which is significantly smaller compared to other thermal values.
04:30 - 11:00: Detailed Calculation Steps The chapter discusses the significant amount of energy required for a substance to transition from liquid to gas compared to melting from solid to liquid, specifically citing vaporization as needing about 40 to 44 kilojoules per mole. This is contrasted with the melting process, which is less energy-intensive. The concept is further clarified by framing freezing as the reverse of melting, noting that if you use 6 kilojoules to melt a mole of ice, you recover the same amount (considered as negative energy) during freezing.
11:00 - 17:00: Summary of Heat Calculations The chapter discusses the concept of the heating curve using water (H2O) as an example. It explains a hypothetical process starting with one mole of H2O, equivalent to 18 grams, beginning at a very low temperature. This sets the stage to understand various aspects of heating, phase changes, and related calculations. The summary encapsulates the integration of multiple heating concepts into a coherent understanding, vital for mastering how substances behave under different thermal conditions.
L27 Phase Changes P3. Heat Energy Calculations Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 In this video, we're gonna talk a little bit about
the heat of fusion and we're gonna go into a quite a bit more depth in talking about calculations
associated with heating up a material. So previously, we talked about heat of vaporization,
that is, the idea of the amount of energy it takes to vaporize a material. Remember that there is
also a quantity, known as the heat of fusion,
00:30 - 01:00 that really should be called the heat of melting
because here we're talking about the energy that it takes in order to melt a substance. And
of course melting or fusion is endothermic, meaning that in order to melt something,
you need to supply some heat. And of course, the reverse of that process of melting
is what we call freezing, and freezing, therefore, must be exothermic; it releases
heat. And of course that seems a little
01:00 - 01:30 counterintuitive sometimes when we're talking
about ice because normally we think of having ice in our hands melting as feeling cold.
We don't really think of it as releasing heat but of course when the ice is melting,
right, that's the endothermic process. We are supplying the heat in order to melt the ice
and so we are getting cold because we're the
01:30 - 02:00 source of heat. In order to freeze liquid
water into ice, right, we have to pull the heat out of the liquid water in order to get it
to freeze and so that's an exothermic process. Now in the case of water, the actual quantitative
amount for the heat of fusion is 6 kilojoules per mole, and you'll notice of course that that
number is quite a bit smaller than the heat
02:00 - 02:30 of vaporization, which was 40 to 44 kilojoules per
mole. So in other words, it takes a lot more heat to vaporize a substance, to go from liquid to gas,
than it does too melt, to go from solid liquid, and that's true for virtually all substances.
And of course remember that freezing is just a reverse of that process. So if you have to invest
a positive 6 kilojoules to melt a mole of ice, you'll get 6 kilojoules back or what we think
of as negative 6 kilojoules when you freeze
02:30 - 03:00 it. So finally, we put all of these concepts
together about heating and what is often called the heating curve, where we're gonna perform a
hypothetical process. Imagine that we start out with one mole of H2O, so in other words 18 grams
of H2O, and we're gonna start out at a very cold
03:00 - 03:30 temperature well below the freezing point. So
you might imagine that we are in Antarctica, near the South Pole, and we've got 18 grams or
1 mole of water and we're gonna put it in our pot and we're gonna heat it up. So let's suppose
it's minus 25 degrees Celsius outside and so our block of ice is currently minus 25 degrees. And
so what we're gonna need to do is go through a series of steps and on the x-axis here what we
have indicated is the amount of heat that we're
03:30 - 04:00 adding to the substance in kilojoules, and on the
vertical axis we have temperature. And in some sense if we're you know thinking about some kind
of warming device, like a stove or something, you could think if it's putting out heat at a constant
rate, well then the access x-axis, the horizontal here, is sort of proportional to time because
longer time means we've invested more heat,
04:00 - 04:30 we've put more heat into the system. And so we can
see here we're going through a series of steps. In the first, step we're gonna have to
warm up our ice because it's at minus 25 degrees Celsius. We're gonna have to
warm it up to reach the melting point at 0 degrees Celsius. Then once we've reached
that melting point zero degrees Celsius, the energy now is gonna go into converting the
molecules, or the substance, from solid to liquid,
04:30 - 05:00 from ice to liquid water. And so in the first
step, we're essentially using our energy, our heat, in order to make the molecules vibrate
faster. That is increase their temperature. But in the second step, the energy is no longer going
into the kinetic energy of motion but rather into the potential energy of those molecules to
overcome the intermolecular attractions to
05:00 - 05:30 move them apart from each other and get them
to tumble around rather than just vibrating, right? Converting them to a liquid. Then in step
three, once the block of ice is completely melted, we're now going to warm up that liquid
water from zero degrees Celsius up to a hundred degrees Celsius. So once again, now the
heat is going into kinetic energy of molecules,
05:30 - 06:00 making them tumble around faster and faster, until
finally we reach a hundred degrees Celsius. And at this point, once again, the energy is going to
start to go into potential energy, that is to move the molecules further apart and completely
overcome the IMF's between the molecules until they're completely in the vapor phase. And once
we vaporized all of our liquid water. Finally the last step, if we continue heating, will be to
take that steam, make the molecules in that steam
06:00 - 06:30 move faster and faster, that is we're putting
our heat into kinetic energy again by increasing temperature. So let's now go through and do the
calculation for each one of these steps and figure out how much heat will it require to perform each
step in this process, and then what's the total. So first, in step one once again, we're taking
H2O solid, that is ice, at minus 25 degrees C,
06:30 - 07:00 and we're going to warm it up but
it's still H2O solid, it's still ice, but now at zero degree Celsius. And so at this
stage of the process, were not changing phase, we're simply changing temperature. And
as we learned earlier in the semester,
07:00 - 07:30 whenever you change the temperature of
any substance, the amount of heat, Q, that's required can be calculated simply by taking
mC(delta T). That is, the mass of the substance, times its specific heat capacity, times whatever
the change in temperature is. Now in this case, the substance that we're heating is ice,
so we need to know the mass of the ice, we need to know the specific heat capacity of
the ice, and we need to know what its change
07:30 - 08:00 in temperature was. As we mentioned, our sample is
exactly 18 grams or 1 mol, and we need to multiply now by the specific heat capacity of ice. Now
one thing that we didn't mention earlier in the semester is that the specific heat capacity of
solid ice is not the same as the specific heat
08:00 - 08:30 capacity of liquid water, even though obviously
they're both H2O molecules. It turns out that when you heat them up, the energy in the solid
state does not increase the temperature at the same rate that it does in the liquid state.
And in fact, the specific heat capacity of solid ice is only 2.09 joules per gram degrees
C. You may remember that for liquid water, it's
08:30 - 09:00 roughly double that. And then finally, we need
to multiply this by the change in temperature, and since we went from negative 25 up to zero
degrees Celsius, our delta T was a positive 25 degrees C. And you'll notice of course that if
we keep track of units, we'll end up with joules,
09:00 - 09:30 so we have 18 times 2.09 times 25, which works out
to 941 joules, or in other words, 0.9 kilojoules. Now in the second step, we're starting out
with H2O solid, that is ice, at zero degrees C,
09:30 - 10:00 and we're gonna melt that and turn it into liquid
water, also at zero degrees C. In other words, in the second step, the temperature does
not change. It stays constant but we change state. And of course we know that in order to
calculate the amount of heat associated with changing the state of something, we need to take
the amount of the substance that were melting,
10:00 - 10:30 which in this case is ice, so the
amount of ice, and multiply that by the Delta H for that state change, which
you remember in this case is called fusion, so we need to multiply by the heat of fusion
for the substance. So in this example, we have 18 grams or in other words one mol of
ice, and we need to multiply that by the heat
10:30 - 11:00 of fusion for ice, which is 6.02 kilojoules
per mole and of course we're gonna get 6.02 kilojoules. I'm just gonna round this off to two
sig figs, so 6.0 kilojoules, which you'll notice
11:00 - 11:30 is quite a bit more heat than we needed just
to warm up the ice from negative 25 to zero. Now in the next step, once again, we're going
to be changing temperature. We're gonna start out with liquid water at zero degrees C
and we're going to warm it up to liquid water at 100 degrees C. And once again,
whenever we have a change in temperature,
11:30 - 12:00 we always use Q equals mC(delta T) for whatever
the substance we're heating or warming up. And in this case, the substance that were warming
up is the liquid water, and so we have 18 grams of liquid water times the specific heat
capacity this time of the liquid water,
12:00 - 12:30 which we know is 4.18 joules per gram degrees
C, times the change in temperature of the liquid water, which if we went from 0 to 100, is 100
degrees. And so once again, we cancel units out, we're gonna get joules, and in this case
7520 joules roughly, or in other words,
12:30 - 13:00 7.5 kilojoules. Roughly comparable to the
amount of heat that it took to melt the ice. Now we're gonna vaporize all this liquid water.
So we're gonna start out with liquid water at a
13:00 - 13:30 hundred degrees C and turn it into water vapor or
steam, H2O gas, at a hundred degree C. Once again, the temperature stays constant as the phase
change occurs. To calculate the amount of heat, we just need to take the number of moles or
the amount of water that we're vaporizing, and multiply it by the Delta H of vaporization
for water. And once again, we have one mole of
13:30 - 14:00 liquid water and the heat of vaporization of water
at it's boiling point is 40.7 kilojoules per mole. And so to vaporize our sample, 40.7 kilojoules,
which we'll notice, is a much larger quantity of
14:00 - 14:30 heat than any of the other steps so far and that's
pretty typical for most substances. Vaporizing something from the liquid to the gas state takes
much much more energy than any of these other processes that we're talking about in essence
because here, we're having to completely overcome the intermolecular attractions between the
molecules in order to separate completely apart.
14:30 - 15:00 And then finally, in our last step, we're gonna
take our steam that's at a hundred degrees Celsius and we're just gonna warm that steam up to a
slightly higher temperature. So in this case, we're going to go to a 125 degrees C. And
as always, when you're changing temperature,
15:00 - 15:30 mC(delta T), the difference here is simply that
we're using steam that is H2O gas. And of course, regardless of the state of matter, its mass
is 18 grams but the specific heat capacity for water vapor, that is steam, is only 2.01 joules
per gram degree C. And of course our delta T,
15:30 - 16:00 once again here, is 25 degrees C, as we go from
100 to 125 C. And if we multiply those together, we'll get 904 jewels, or in words, 0.9 kilojoules.
And so we can essentially compare the amounts of
16:00 - 16:30 heat that were required for each step. Of course
as I mentioned before, the largest number is the vaporization. And then also moderately large,
is melting the sample. And of course warming the liquid up over a very large temperature range.
And then finally, our warming up of the solid and the gas, where it's much smaller by comparison.
And if we want to know the total amount of heat,
16:30 - 17:00 we can just add all those up. And we find that the
total for the entire process was 56 kilojoules.
