1 What types of materials have low specific heats? What are some advantages/disadvantages to this? What types of materials or substances have high specific heats? What are some advantages/disadvantages to this?

2 Heat Examples Heat up Water from 21C to 95C m = 1 kg c = 4186 Q = mc  T Q = (1)(4186)(95 – 21) Q = 309,764 Joules

3 Thermal Equilibrium Two objects at different temperatures will eventually reach a common temp T f ? Heat Gained = Heat Given mc  T = mc  T Example Soup (m = 1 kg, c = 4186, T=95) Mixed with a bowl (m=.8kg, c=800, T=20) (1)(4186)(95-T) = (.8)(800)(T-20) 397670 – 4186T = 640T – 12800 410470 = 4826T T = 85 0 C

4 Linear Expansion All objects expand with increase in temperature, contract with decrease in temperature.  L= L 0  T L 0 is original length at original temperature,  is the expansion coefficient, and  T is the change in temperature. You are solving for the change in length.

5 Latent Heat = the heat required to change the state of the object (liquid to gas, solid to liquid) L f = 3.35 E 5 J/kg (to melt ice, freeze water) L v = 2.26 E 6 J/kg (to make steam, condense water) Q = mL Water at densest point at 4 0 C

6 Problem Solving Hints If ice is below 0, use mc  T and the c for ice, to warm ice. At 0 the ice melts, use mL f Between 0 and 100, it is water, use mc  T and the c for water, to warm water. At 100 the water converts to steam, use mL v. Above 100, use mc  T and the c for steam.

7 Reading Quiz Why does a tile floor feel colder than carpet on your bare feet? Why does the temperature of melting ice not change even though energy is being added as heat to the ice?
