Heat Transfer & Phases Intro Chapter Energy • Is the ability to do work and cause a change. • Can be transferred. – Gases and liquids are made of molecules that are constantly moving (kinetic energy). The faster they are moving the more energy they have. – Solids- molecules vibrate close together and transfer energy. Thermal Energy • Is the total energy of motion in the molecules of a substance. • Gases are made of molecules that are constantly moving. The faster they are moving the more energy they have. Temperature • The average amount of energy of motion in the molecules of a substance. • It is a measure of how hot or cold something is. Speed of Molecules & Temp • What happens to the speed of the molecules when temperature is increased? Speed of Molecules & Temp • What happens to the speed of the molecules when temperature is increased? Speed of Molecules & Temp • What happens to the speed of the molecules when temperature is increased? Speed of Molecules & Temp • What happens to the speed of the molecules when temperature is increased? Phase Changes • When a substance changes from one state or phase to another. • Solids • Liquids • Gases • Always occur with a change in heat, which is energy. Solids • Have definite shape and volume • Solid to liquid- melting • Solid to gas- sublimation Liquids • Has a definite volume, and is able to take the shape of the container holding it. • Liquid to solid- Freezing • Liquid to gas- vaporation • Boiling and Evaporation Gases • A state of matter without definite shape or volume. • Phase Change• Gas to liquid- condensation.
