Kinetic Theory
Overzicht
Stand a pan of crushed ice on a hot ring with a thermometer in it and watch the reading. It climbs to zero and then it stops. The ring is still glowing, the ice is visibly turning to water, joules are pouring in at hundreds every second, and the number on the thermometer refuses to move. It stays there for minutes. Only when the last sliver of ice has gone does the reading start to rise again, and later, at one hundred, it stalls a second time and stays stalled while the pan boils dry. Two flat stretches in one heating, and in both of them energy is arriving with nothing to show for it on the scale.
Nothing has gone missing. This lesson shows you where those joules went, and it hands you a way of reading any temperature against time graph as a story about particles: how far apart they are, how fast they move, and how tightly they are held to each other. You will compare the three states in one model, define specific heat capacity and put numbers into the equation that goes with it, learn to say in words exactly what is happening along a flat section of a graph, find out what impurities do to a melting point and a boiling point, and finish by cooling molten stearic acid in a test tube and watching one of those flat stretches appear in reverse on your own results.
Doelstellingen
- Kinetic theory can be used to explain the different states of matter and their properties. The particles in solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy. Students should be able to recognise, use and compare simple diagrams to represent key features of solids, liquids and gases.
- The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to change the temperature of one kilogram of the substance by one degree Celsius. The relationship between energy, E, mass, m, specific heat capacity, c, and temperature change, ∆θ, is: e.The melting point of a solid and the boiling point of a liquid are affected by impurities. Required practical: Investigate cooling curves for stearic acid. Throughout Section 3.4, students should be able to explain the shape of the temperature-time graph for a substance that is either cooled or heated through changes in state.
