Question:   How are solid, liquid, and vapor states of water related?





Recall:
Equilibrium:  the condition, in any reversible process, where the forward and reverse processes occur at the same rate

Vapor Pressure:  the pressure of the vapor over a solid or liquid when the two states are in equilibrium

Now, you know that when a substance boils, it changes from a liquid to a gas, but what exactly is boiling point?

Boiling Point:  


Graph and Questions:  The vapor pressure of a gas above its own (solid or) liquid depends on temperature.   The boiling point or temperature at which bubbles of vapor form within a liquid, depends on both vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure.  The following table shows the vapor pressure of a certain liquid at various temperatures.  Graph the data on the grid provided.

Note, there are 5 segments in this graph.  It shows the heating of solid H2O (ice) to gaseous H2O (water vapor).  What is happening in each segment?

Segment 1:    



Segment 2:    



Segment 3:    



Segment 4:    



Segment 5:    




The above graph gives a qualitative picture of the heating of water from solid to gaseous states.  But, in chemistry we need to be quantitative.  Let’s define some key terms.

calorie:

Calorie:  

Joule:  

Conversion:    1 calorie = 4.184 J

Specific Heat:  

Specific Heat Capacity = Cp:  

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1oC varies from substance to substance.  It also varies with the state of the substance.  The specific heat for a substance is different for its solid, liquid, and gaseous states.  Also, when the specific heat is given, the temperature must be stated, because the specific heat varies from one temperature to another.  

Examine the specific heat for water.
    water(s) = 2.060 J/goC at 0oC            water(l) = 4.22 J/goC at 0oC
                            water(l) = 4.18 J/goC at 25oC
    water(g) = 2.070 J/goC at 100oC            water(l) = 4.21 J/goC at 100oC

A substance with a high specific heat can be used as a “heat sponge” and may be used to absorb and store extra heat.

If the temperature of a substance is increased, the substance has absorbed energy.  If the temperature of a substance is decreased, the substance has released energy.

The specific heat of water, as listed above, is 4.18 J/goC at 25oC.  This specific heat uses joules as the unit of energy.  Another unit may also be used: calories.  Since a calorie is also a unit of energy, the specific heat of water may also be designated as 1.00 cal/goC at 25oC.

Question:    What does a sloped line in a “heating curve” indicate?  

        What does a plateau in a “heating curve” indicate?  

Question:    Which segment is longer, segment 2 or segment 4?  Why do you think this segment is longer?



Question:    What would the graph look like from 10 – 21 minutes if the data was collected in the mountains?



Question:    The graph above is a heating curve.  What would the graph of a substance being cooled look like?


Question:    Why are there plateaus on the heating curve?  If heat is still added, why is there no increase in temperature?

Chapters 10 & 17: The Condensed States of Matter
Notes – Part 5: Heat Calculations

Objectives:    Calculate heat changes that occur during heating, melting, freezing, boiling, condensing, and cooling.
        Identify, define, and explain: specific heat capacity, heat of vaporization and heat of fusion.
Text Reference:    Section 11.3 – pages 307-313

Recall, specific heat capacity (Cp) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1oC.

On what part of a heating curve would specific heat capacity be significant?  

Heat quantities depend on the substance’s specific heat, the quantity being heated, and the temperature change.

The heat change, resulting in a temperature change, may be calculated for the following: a solid being heated to its melting point, a liquid being heated to its boiling point, a gas being superheated, and any of the reverse processes for the substance being cooled.

The formula for calculating heat changes resulting in a temperature change:        

                    __________ = ______________________________ with a unit of _________________________

                    __________ = ______________________________ with a unit of _________________________

                    __________ = ______________________________ with a unit of _________________________

                    __________ = ______________________________ with a unit of _________________________

Example 1:     How much heat is absorbed by 126 g of water if its initial temperature is 47.9oC and its final is 75.6oC?




Question:     Can this formula be used for a sample of water with a temperature change from 56.9oC to 123.9oC?  Explain.



The specific heat of a substance describes the energy that must be added to increase the temperature of a substance or the amount of energy that must be removed to lower its temperature.  However, when you change the temperature of a substance, it may undergo a change of state, thereby requiring the use of a different specific heat.  Also, there are tremendous amounts of energy involved in changes of state.

Molar heat of fusion:  

Molar heat of vaporization:  

So if there is no temperature change and the change occurring is a change of state, you need to calculate the energy using:
Q = m Cfus    or     Q = m Cvap

Example 2:     How much energy, in joules, is required to boil 75.8 g of water at 100oC?




When you solve a heat problem where the substance passes through a phase change or multiple phase changes, you will need to complete multiple steps to arrive at the final answer.

Use the following values for H2O:        H2O – solid    Cp = 2.060 J/goC        Cfus = 334 J/g
            H2O – liquid    Cp = 4.180 J/goC        
                    H2O – gas    Cp = 2.070 J/goC        Cvap = 2260 J/g


Example 3:    You have a sample of ice at –47oC and the sample has a mass of 357.9 g.
You need to get the temperature of your sample to +118.6oC.
What is the total amount of heat required for this change?  (Show each part separately!!!)

In this example, you are starting at a temperature below the freezing point and you need to get to a temperature above the freezing point.  Each segment on the change of state graph needs to be completed separately.

You will calculate the five steps: below freezing to freezing, from solid to liquid, from freezing to boiling, from liquid to gas, from boiling to above boiling.  After each of the steps has been calculated, you will add together each portion to arrive at your final answer.

Below freezing point to freezing point:





At freezing point – from a solid to a liquid:





From freezing point to boiling point:





At boiling point – from a liquid to a gas:





From boiling point to above boiling point:





Total heat involved in the change:







Careful to keep ΔT = Tfinal - Tinitial
    What does it mean if you get a negative value for ΔT?

    Why is it important to keep the negative sign for ΔT?

7.    The Cp of ammonia gas is 2.190 J/goC.  If you have a sample of 135.7 g of ammonia gas that absorbed 3527 J of heat, what temperature change has the ammonia gas has undergone?



8.    Use the following values fro substance X:
    X – solid    Cp = 1.356 J/goC        Cfus = 264 J/g
    X – liquid    Cp = 3.498 J/goC
    X – gas        Cp = 1.549 J/goC        Cvap = 984 J/g

    X – boiling point = 82.467oC            X – freezing point = -12.360oC

You have a sample of X with a mass of 168.26 g at an initial temperature of –35.68oC.
You want to get the sample to a final temperature of 91.03oC.
What is the total heat, in joules, required for this temperature change to occur?  (Show each part separately.)
