Thermal Energy and Heat Table of Contents Temperature, Thermal Energy, and Heat The Transfer of Heat Thermal Energy and States of Matter Uses of Heat

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in matter.

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature changes cause the level of the liquid inside a thermometer to rise and fall.

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature Scales The three common scales for measuring temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Converting Units To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to a Celsius temperature, use the following formula: ºC = 5/9 (ºF – 32) For example, if the temperature in your classroom is 68ºF, what is the temperature in degrees Celsius? ºC = 5/9 (68 – 32) ºC = 5/9 X 36 ºC = 20 The temperature of your classroom is 20ºC.

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Converting Units Practice Problem While at the beach, you measure the ocean temperature as 77ºF. What is the temperature of the ocean in degrees Celsius? 25ºC

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Specific Heat The specific heat of three different materials was measured. These data are shown in the graph.

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Specific Heat Reading Graphs: What three materials are compared in the graph? Water, sand, and iron

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Specific Heat Interpreting Data: About how much heat is required to raise 1 kg of water by 1 K? About 4, 200 J would be required

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Specific Heat Drawing Conclusions: According to the graph, which material requires more heat to raise its temperature by 1 K, iron or sand? Sand

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Specific Heat A material with a high specific heat can absorb a great deal of thermal energy without a great change in temperature.

Thermal Energy and Heat Temperature, Thermal Energy and Heat Comparing and Contrasting As you read, compare and contrast temperature, thermal energy, and heat by completing a table like the one below. Energy Measured Units Temperature Average kinetic energy of particles Fahrenheit or Celsius degrees, kelvins Thermal Energy Total energy of all particles in an object Joules Heat Energy transferred Joules

Thermal Energy and Heat - The Transfer of Heat Moves One Way If two objects have different temperatures, heat will flow from the warmer object to the colder one.

Thermal Energy and Transferring Heat Thermal Energy 6. 2 Heat Conductors • The rate at which heat moves depends on the material. • Heat moves faster by conduction in solids and liquids than in gases. • In gases, particles are farther apart, so collisions with other particles occur less frequently than they do in solids or liquids.

Thermal Energy and Transferring Heat Thermal Energy 6. 2 Heat Conductors • The best conductors of heat are metals. • In a piece of metal, there are electrons that are not bound to individual atoms, but can move easily through the metal.

Thermal Energy and Transferring Heat Thermal Energy 6. 2 Heat Conductors • Collisions between these electrons and other particles in the metal enable thermal energy to be transferred more quickly than in other material.

Thermal Energy and Heat - The Transfer of Heat Insulators Air between the panes of this window acts as an insulator to slow the transfer of heat.

Thermal Energy and Heat - The Transfer of Heat Identifying Main Ideas As you read the section “How Is Heat Transferred? , ” write the main idea in a graphic organizer like the one below. Then write three supporting details that further explain the main idea. Main Idea Heat can be transferred in three ways. Detail Conduction– transfer of heat between particles without the movement of matter Convection– transfer of heat by the movement of currents in a fluid Detail Radiation– transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

Thermal Energy and Heat Thermal Energy and States of Matter Most matter on Earth can exist in three states–solid, liquid, and gas.

Thermal Energy and Heat Thermal Energy and States of Matter Changes of State Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is absorbed or released.

Thermal Energy and Heat Thermal Energy and States of Matter Thermal Expansion As thermal energy of matter increases, its particles spread out and the substance expands. A bimetallic strip in a thermostat contracts or expands depending on whether it is cooled or warmed.

Thermal Energy and Heat Thermal Energy and States of Matter Building Vocabulary Using a word in a sentence helps you think about how best to explain the word. After you read the section, reread the paragraphs that contain definitions of Key Terms. Use the information you have learned to write a meaningful sentence for each Key Terms: state evaporation change of state boiling melting condensation freezing thermal expansion Examples: If vaporization Water can existtakes in three place different at the surface states, or of a forms. liquid, it is called evaporation. The physical change from one state of matter to At higheristemperatures, vaporization another called a change of state. can occur below the surface of a liquid as well. This process is called The change of state from a solid to a liquid is called boiling. melting. A change from the gas state to the liquid state is called condensation. The change of state from a liquid to a solid is called The expanding of matter when it is heated is known as freezing. thermal expansion.
