Heat and Internal Energy
� Heat is the energy transferred between a system and its environment because of a tempera-ture difference between them.
� Before scientists realized that heat is transferred energy, they measured heat in a unit calledthe calorie (cal), defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water from14.5 � C to 15.5 � C.
� In 1948, the scientific community decided that since heat (like work) is transferred energy,the SI unit for heat should be the joule (J).
� The relationship between the calorie and the joule is known as the mechanical equivalentof heat and is given by
� �� � � �� � �
� Internal energy � �� is the energy associated with the microscopic components of a system- the atoms and molecules

Specific Heat
� The heat � transferred between a system of mass � and its surroundings when the system undergoes atemperature change �� is given by
� � �� ��
where c is the specific heat of the system. The SI units of specific heat are � ��� ����� � .

Calorimetry
� When two objects at different temperatures are placed in thermal contact and are insulated from their sur-roundings, the principle of conservation of energy requires that

� Example 1 - A copper slug whose mass � $ is 0.0750 kg is heated in a laboratory oven to a temperature� $ of312� C. The slug is then dropped into a glass beaker containing a mass � % = 0.220 kg of water. The mass ofthe glass beaker is � & = 0.225 kg. The initial temperature� ' of the water and beaker is 12.0� C. Assuming thatthe slug, water, and beaker are an isolated system and the water does not vaporize, find the final temperature

Phase Changes
� Shown below is a graph of temperature versus heat added when 1 g of ice initially at -30� C is converted tosteam at 120� C.
� Notice that the temperature doesn’t necessarily have to change as heat is transferred to the system
� Instead, the substance can undergo a phase change

Latent Heat
� The heat required to change the phase of a mass � of a pure substance is
� � ) �*
–* is called the latent heat and depends on the type of phase change and the substance
– The sign is determined by the direction of the heat flow - � is positive if energy is added to the substanceand negative if it is removed
– The heat of fusion* ( is the heat absorbed per kg in a solid-to-liquid conversion
– The heat of vaporization* + is the heat absorbed in a liquid-to-vapor conversion
