Key Topics to Revise
1
Heat and Temperature
- Heat is energy in transit that flows from higher temperature to lower temperature objects
- Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body
- Temperature indicates the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance
2
Specific Heat Capacity
- Different materials require different amounts of heat for same temperature change
- Specific heat depends on molecular structure and energy distribution in materials
- Water has highest specific heat (1 cal/g°C or 4180 J/kg·K) among common substances
3
Method of Mixtures
- When hot and cold substances mix, heat lost by hot substance equals heat gained by cold substance
- Final temperature depends on masses and initial temperatures of both substances
- No heat is lost to surroundings in ideal mixing
4
Evaporation and Condensation
- Evaporation occurs at all temperatures from liquid surface only
- Faster evaporation with: larger surface area, higher temperature, wind, lower humidity
- Evaporation is cooling process - removes high energy molecules
