3. A tube of length 1.2m contains 0.04kg of metal ball bearings.
Lesson Link
A tube of length 1.2m contains 0.04kg of metal ball bearings.
It is then inverted causing an energy transfer as the ball bearings fall leading to an increase in the internal energy of the metal. This can be measured by the thermometer. 𝑔
9.81 ms-2
Describe the energy transfer occurring, assuming no energy lost to surroundings (2 marks)
Derive the equation to calculate the energy transferred to the metal for ‘n’ inversions. (2 marks)
Calculate the specific heat capacity (c) for the metal when the set up is inverted 60times and a temp change of 5K was recorded (3 marks)
mcӨ = mgln soo…… c=gLn/Ө. Therefore c = Best to do the answer for 2 first to help with 3.
Surely there is a way to combine the SHC equation with another one for energy?

5. Engage
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which the intermolecular bonds within a solid break down sufficiently to change the state of a solid to a liquid under atmospheric pressure.
Challenge:
What would happen to the boiling point of water if it was heated at a high altitude?
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapour.
I.e. is the temp. when the liquid has been saturated with thermal energy, any additional energy causes particles to escape; a vapour.

8. Explore When solid is heated at its melting point…
Latent Heat of…
When solid is heated at its melting point…
Atoms vibrate more causing them to break apart
This requires energy so all the energy input goes into breaking fused bonds (not temp!)
So energy is increasing BUT NO temp rise (it’s hidden….latent ….heat!).
Atoms further apart? You’ve made a liquid!
Fusion
Vaporisation
But what happens to that heat energy when you leave the liquid to cool down?
Why is there no temp rise?
When the liquid is cooling, the latent heat is released. This is because the liquid molecules slow down to they are moving slowly enough for the force bonds to lock the molecules together. Some of the latent heat released keeps the temp of the substance at the melting point until solidification has been reached
Bond breaking also take energy.
Any energy added at this temp goes to the bonds!

Fusion
Atoms gain enough kinetic energy causing them to break further apart
This requires energy so all the energy input goes into breaking fused bonds (not temp!)
So energy is increasing BUT NO temp rise (it’s hidden….latent ….heat!).
Atoms even further apart? You’ve made a gas!

14. Progress Checker
Identify
Calculate the energy needed to melt 5000g of ice at 0˚C and then heat that melted ice to 50˚C
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice= 3.36x105Jkg-1
Specific heat capacity of water= 4200Jkg-1K-1
We need to find the energy needed to melt the ice (Q1) and the energy needed to heat the ice (Q2)
To melt 5000g of ice (5kg), we need to work out the energy to overcome latent heat of fusion: Q=ml
Q1 = 5kg x 3.36x105Jkg-1 = 1.68x106J
It’s now water, so to heat the water we use the value of ‘c’, so Q2= mcӨ = 5 x 4200 x 50= 1.05x106J
Total Q= Q1 + Q2 = 2.73x 106J

15. Practical Plan How can we measure the latent heat of fusion of water?
In pairs
How can we measure the latent heat of fusion of water?
Discuss
Task 1: Identify what variables we would need to control and which ones we would measure
Task 2: Suggest equipment that we could use. Go to another group and discover their ideas.
Compare
Task 3: Draw the diagram of the set up you would use. Compare it with the one shown to you
Practical Hint
Polystyrene cup, ice (15g), warm water. The energy lost is the energy needed to melt the ice!
Could we possibly use some warm water here?
Task 4: What would be the equation? Extension: rearrange to get ‘l’ of the liquid

Wider Context Exam Question ∆Q
Change in energy
Explain why a scold by steam at 100 oC would much more painful than one by the same mass of liquid water at 100 oC?
(4 marks)
Water at 100 oC would transfer a set amount of energy into the skin, determined by the SHC of water
The steam however would need to release the latent heat (of vaporisation) energy first (into the skin)
As it changes from gas to liquid (condenses)
Before its temperature decreases (another heat loss into skin)
Therefore more energy is released into the skin by the steam (latent + cooling) than by the water (cooling)
This extra heat would be more painful. m
