  1. MELTING AND BOILING SEC 3 PHYSICS

  2. On the Molecular Level • We have learnt previously that when molecules absorb heat energy, they will start to move faster. • When the molecules have reached a certain speed, the energy that they absorb will now be used to break the attractive forces between them.

  3. On a Molecular Level (cont’d) • When the energy absorbed is used to break the attractive forces between them, there is no increase in speed. • Which means energy absorbed can only be used for either one of the purpose (break attractive forces OR increase in speed). Only one change is taking place at any time.

  4. So what do we see? • When the energy is used to increase the speed of the molecule, we see a rise in temperature of the substance. • When the energy is used to break attractive forces between molecules, we see the substance changing in state. This energy which brings about a change in state is known as LATENT HEAT

  5. Solid Liquid Gas Changes in States CONDENSATION Loss in heat Boiling Gain in heat FREEZING melting

  6. MELTING AND SOLIDIFICATION • When a solid changes to a liquid on heating, we call it melting In this instance, heat is ABSORBED by the substance • When a liquid changes to a solid on cooling, we call it solidification (freezing) In this instance, heat is LOST by the substance

  7. MELTING AND SOLIDIFICATION • In both cases, the heat that is absorbed or lost is known as the latent heat of fusion. • When this latent heat is absorbed or lost, there is no change in temperature. • This means when a substance is undergoing a change in state, the temperature will remain constant.

  8. The Temperature-time Graph temperature This part of the graph shows a constant temperature which means this is when the substance is changing state time

  9. Effect of Impurities on Freezing Point • When impurities are added to water, it would lower the freezing point of water. This means that water now freezes at a lower temperature.

  10. Effect of Impurities on Freezing Point Example: I have 2 cups of water, A and B. I add salt to B. When I try to freeze the water in both cups, A would freeze at 0oC but B would freeze maybe at –10oC. This means B would stay as a liquid even at 0oC or lower until the temperature reaches –10oC. When A becomes solid ice at 0oC, B is still liquid.

  11. Effect of Impurities on Freezing Point The reverse situation would be true. (When melting.) A (no salt added) B (salt added) Ice cube A would melt at 0oC. But B would melt(turn into liquid) at a temperature even lower.

  12. Effect of Pressure on Melting Point • Melting point of ice is lowered by an increase in pressure • At higher pressure, an ice cube would melt at temperatures lower than 0oC. • At lower pressure (on the mountain), ice would only melt at temperatures higher than 0oC. Which is why there can be snow on the mountain top even when surrounding temperatures are above 0oC.

  13. Effect of Pressure on Melting Point • Example of pressing two ice cubes together. • When pressed together, the pressure they experience is higher, so the melting point is lowered causing the ice to melt. • When hand releases, the pressure they experience is lowered, so the water will now freeze at higher temperature. • Another example is walking on ice. • And ice skating.

  14. boiling AND condensation • When a liquid changes to a gas on heating, we call it boiling In this instance, heat is ABSORBED by the substance • When a gas changes to a liquid on cooling, we call it condensation. In this instance, heat is LOST by the substance

  15. Boiling AND condensation • In both cases, the heat that is absorbed or lost is known as the latent heat of vaporisation. • When this latent heat is absorbed or lost, there is no change in temperature. • This means when a substance is undergoing a change in state, the temperature will remain constant.

  16. Effect of Impurities on Boiling Point • Adding impurities will raise the boiling point of an object. • That means to say the liquid will now boil at a higher temperature.

  17. Effect of Pressure On Boiling Point • Lower pressure would lower the boiling point of water. • Water will boil very quickly on the mountain top but the temperature reached is lower than 100oC. • Increasing pressure would raise the boiling point of water. • Water will boil at a higher temperature above 100oC.

  18. Specific Latent Heat • Recall that the energy absorbed or released causing a change in state is known as latent heat. • Example: latent heat of fusion latent heat of vaporisation

  19. Specific Latent Heat • This is the heat absorbed or released when 1 kg of the substance undergoes a change in state. • There are 2 types of specific latent heat: • Specific latent heat of fusion • Specific latent heat of vaporisation

  20. Specific Latent Heat of Fusion • This is the heat required by 1 kg of a substance to change from solid to liquid or vice versa without a change in temperature • Formula: Lf = mlf • Unit: Jkg-1

  21. Specific Latent Heat of Vaporisation • This is the heat required by 1 kg of a substance to change from liquid to gas or vice versa without a change in temperature • Formula: Lv = mlv • Unit: Jkg-1

  22. Example: 4400 J of heat was supplied to 2kg of water at 100oC. All of the water turned into steam. What is the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water? Solution: Lv = mlv 4400 = 2 (lv) lv=4400 / 2 lv=2200 Jkg-1

  23. Evaporation • Liquid changing into gas. • Seems similar to boiling but there are differences.

  25. Factors Affecting rate of Evaporation • Temperature Temperature of liquid and surroundings.
