Q
A measure of the avg. kinetic
energy of the particles of a
system.
Temperature is NOT energy.
Temperature
Increases!
As the temperature , the
avg. kinetic energy …
Decreases!
As the temperature , the
avg. kinetic energy …
is constant!
When the temperature is
constant, the avg. kinetic energy
…
Total energy is conserved.
Energy before = Energy after
Energy lost = Energy gained
Energy can be converted from 1
form to another.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy of Universe is conserved

System has a net gain in energy! H is +’ve.
System absorbs energy
(heat) from environment
Endothermic Process
1. Temperature change
2. Mass of substance
3. Specific Heat of substance
Quantity of heat transferred
depends on …
Calculating Heat Transferred
Simple system: Pure substance in a
single phase. To calculate heat gained
or lost, use:
Q = mCT
Q = amount of heat transferred
m = mass of substance
C = specific heat capacity of the
substance (Table B).
T = temperature change = Tfinal – Tinitial
Equation used to calculate
energy change when a
substance in 1 phase is
heated or cooled.
Q = mCT

Calculating energy changes in H2O
Dissolving
• When 10 g NaOH dissolves, the
temperature of the H2O increases.
Add 100 g H2O

interacting with H2O.
Pulled apart & interacting
with H2O.
Calorimetry
• The NaOH is the system.
• The H2O is the environment.

Calculating energy changes in H2O
In a calorimetry exp’t, H2O is the
environment.
If the temperature of the H2O , the
process was exothermic.
If the temperature of the H2O , the
process was endothermic.
Exothermic
If energy is high, stability is low.
If enrgy is low, stability is high.

Melting & Boiling Points
• Plateaus = Phase changes = Potential
energy changes.
• Notice that as long as 2 phases are
present, the temperature is
constant.
• Melting point, Boiling point.
To analyze a heating/cooling
curve:
• Does the curve go uphill or downhill?
• Label the phases present in each region.
• Describe what happens to the K.E. in
each region.
• Describe what happens to the P.E. in
each region.
• Locate the melting point and boiling
point.
What happens to the temperature
as heat is added at the boiling
point?
• Nothing, until only 1 phase is
present!
Constant!
The boiling point of a pure
substance is …
Constant!
The melting point of a pure
substance is …
3 equations for Q
• Q = mCT
• Q = mHf
• Q = mHv
• Have to figure out which one to use
for a given problem.
• Depends which section of heating
curve.
• Look for hints in the problem.
