What are some things that happen
as we heat a sample up?
Solid Liquid Gas
Melting, Evaporating
Increase in entropy
(what is entropy?)
Entropy
is a state function that is often erroneously
referred to as the 'state of disorder' of a
system
simply a measure how much the energy of
atoms and molecules become more spread
out in a process
What is heat? How is heat different
from temperature?
Heat is a measure of kinetic or translational
energy
Inchemistry heat is measure in Joules (J)
Heat is dependent on mass, temperature change and
specific heat (or ability of a substance to absorb heat)
Temperature is a measure of warmth or
coldness.
Temperature is independent of heat
Temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) or Celsius (C)
Joule
What is the heating curve?
The heating curve is a graph which represents how a
sample changes phases. As heat is added over time, the
sample changes temperature and phase accordingly.
How does the heating curve look?

Why is the curve flat at some
portions?
Temperature is
staying constant, but
potential energy is
decreasing
During this time the
solid completely
becomes liquid (or
liquid becomes solid)
Why is the curve flat at some
points?
This is called the heat
of fusion (Hf) in
segment BC and heat
of vaporization (Hv)
in segment DE.
Remember fusion is
melting and
vaporization is
evaporation
What is heat of fusion? What is heat of
vaporization?
Hf is the amount of energy
needed to completely make a
solid into a liquid
Hv is the amount of energy
needed to completely make a
liquid into a gas
In both cases you are adding
enough energy to overcome the
forces of attraction betweeen
the molecules
How do we calculate the energy changes
that occur on the flat portions?
We use heat of
fusion (Hf) in
segment BC and
heat of
vaporization (Hv)
in segment DE.
(for BC) Q= mH
f
(for DE) Q= mH

from steam to ice
a mirror image of the heating curve
starts at a high temperature and have
downward diagonals
The diagonals alternate with plateaus
flat lines are the enthalpy of condensation and
freezing
during cooling, we remove heat energy
So, all our Q values will be negative.
Calculations
Constants needed are: CH O = 4.18 J/gK, Cice=

Summary
The heating curve is a
useful tool to show us the
changes in temperature,
energy, and entropy as a
sample is heated up. It
give us detailed
information about phases
and phase changes of
samples.
