HEAT AND THERMODYNAMICS
1. Heat
Heat is sometimes also known as warmth.It is an amount of energy that is transferred from one object to another until both objects have the same temperature. It is a form of energy.We measure heat in joule (J) since it represents an amount of energy that is transferred.
2. Temperature
Temperature is an indication of how hot or cold an object is.
Temperature is measured with a thermometer in degrees Celsius (°C) or in kelvin (K).According to the kinetic molecular theory (particle theory) that you studied in Grade 9, hot particles in the solid state vibrate more than cold particles.Liquid and gas particles move even faster since their temperature is higher than the corresponding temperature of a solid. Temperature is therefore dependent on the movement energy of the particles of the substance.
Heat or warmth is an amount of energy that is transferred from one object to another.
Quick factsThe SI unit of temperature is kelvin (K).

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.EK = 1/2mv2
Study the following two objects of which the temperatures initially differ:
Object A is warmer and therefore the particles have a larger kinetic energy than object B. We know from own experience that both objects would have the same temperature after a while as represented in the second diagram.The warm object (A) will become cooler and the cold object (B) will become warmer.
This means that the temperature of the warm object dropped since heat or warmth flowed to the cold object and caused the temperature of the cold object to rise.
Energy en route from the warm object A with a large average EK to the cold object B with a smaller average EK. This energy is called warmth.
Eventually all the molecules have the same average kinetic energy so the temperature of both objects are the same.
3 Types of thermometers
There are many types of thermometers.The most important types are the alcohol thermometer, the mercury thermometer and the thermoelectric thermometer.
3.1 Alcohol thermometer
Alcohol thermometers have coloured alcohol (usually red, to make it more visible) in the inside space.
Alcohol is a good choice because it can measure verylow temperatures up to -115°C since the freezing point of alcohol is so low.
A B
Example
hitte en termodinamika
Doc Scientia TEGNIESE WETENSKAPPE hand- en werkboek - Graad 10 9
Advantages:• Cheap• Requires little maintenance.• Alcohol expands easily and moderately.• Accurate readings• It can measure very low temperatures up to -115°C.
Disadvantages:• Alcohol in the thermometer is colourless without colourant.• Alcohol evaporates easily which could cause inaccuracy.• Cannot measure high temperatures.• Alcohol tends to cling to glass which means a correct reading cannot be taken immediately with a drop in temperature.• Absorbs some of the system's warmth and affects the accuracy of readings.
3.2 Mercury thermometer
The mercury thermometer has mercury in the inside space. Mercury is visible since it is silver and shiny.
Advantages:• Mercury expands quickly and evenly.• More accurate readings than the alcohol thermometer• Mercury do not cling to the glass during temperature drops.
Disadvantages:• Low temperatures cannot be measured, because the freezing point of mercury is -40°C.• Poisonous• Although the mercury is visible, it is sometimes difficult to see.• Absorbs the warmth of the system and therefore affects the accuracy of readings.
Quick factsA small difference in temperature changes the level of the alcohol quite a lot.
Quick factsAlcohol also has a low boiling which makes it unable to measure very high temperatures.

3.4 Uses
Thermometers are used for a variety of purposes in the everyday life. The following are examples thereof:• Thermostats in fridges and freezers• Thermostats in air-conditioning units• Thermostats in machinery like car engines• To measure the temperatures of the atmosphere• To determine the temperatures of ovens• Aeroplanes must determine whether the defrosting of the wings is required by monitoring the temperature of the wings.• The temperature of roads in countries where it snows a lot will determine whether salt is necessary on the roads or not.• Maximum-minimum thermometers are used to measure the temperatures for different weather conditions.• Clinical thermometers are used to determine whether a patient has a fever or not.
3.3 Thermoelectric thermometer
The thermoelectric thermometer is the most accurate of the three types. It consists of a thermocouple which consists of two different types of metalloids.The one part of the thermocouple is always at a constant cold temperature and the other part is where the warmer value is measured.The difference in temperature of the thermocouple causes an induced emf which is then converted in a temperature scale.The larger the induced emf, the higher the temperature.
Advantages:• Very accurate• Does not absorb the system's warmth.• Does not affect the system's temperature.• Digital scale is easier to read.
Quick factsMercury is extremely poisonous. If the thermometer breaks it must be handled very carefully.
Quick factsThermoelectric thermometer can measure very accurately over a large range of temperatures (0,001 K – 2 000 K).

How to use a thermometerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmMZDJ3Rwyo • Never use the thermometer as a stirrer – it can break and is too expensive.• Lift the thermometer off the bottom of the container and keep it away from the side of the container. The sides and bottom of the container (especially not during heating) do not necessarily have the same temperature as the content of the container.
Experiment 15 Date:Use a mercury thermometer and measure the temperature of:• Ice water• Tap water• Boiling water
Aim: To measure the temperatures of different states of water – vapour excluded.
Apparatus:• Thermometer (preferably more than one type: alcohol, mercury, thermoelectric)• Ice (broken)• Tap water• Boiling water• Three measuring cups
Method:1. Mark the three measuring cups as ice water, tap water and boiling water.2. Place broken ice, tap water and boiling water in the applicable beakers.3. Place the thermometer(s) in the beaker with boiling water and determine the temperature. Record the value(s) in the table.4. Place the thermometer(s) in the beaker with tap water and determine the temperature. Record the value(s) in the table.5. Place the thermometer(s) in the beaker with ice water and determine the temperature. Record the value(s) in the table.

Interesting factsA pyrometer is a non-contact thermometer which is used, amongst others, to measure very high temperatures, for instance when metals are melted or to measure the temperature of lava in a volcano.

4 Temperature scale
Primarily, there are three scales that are commonly used to measure temperatures.The three scales are Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit.Although Fahrenheit is commonly used in England, the scales used for scientific purposes are the Celsius and the Kelvin scales.
4.1 Celsius scale
The Celsius scale was developed by defining the freezing point of water and the boiling point of water as 0°C and 100°C respectively.These two positions are marked on the thermometer.The distance between the two positions on the relevant thermometer is then divided into 100 pieces which each represent one grade Celsius.The Celsius scale is the scale that is commonly used to measure temperatures for everyday purposes.
4.2 Kelvin scaleThe Kelvin scale is the scale that is commonly used for thermodynamics.This scale is related to the Celsius scale but the zero point of the scale is defined differently.The zero point of the Kelvin scale is known as absolute zero point. This value is equal to -273°C.
Example
hitte en termodinamika
Doc Scientia TEGNIESE WETENSKAPPE hand- en werkboek - Graad 10 13
RememberRemember that the kelvin scale starts lower than the Celsius scale.
The starting point of the Kelvin scale is therefore 273° lower than that of the Celsius scale.
Conversions between the two scales are done by adding or subtracting the value of 273.
x °C + 273 = X Kand
X K – 273 = x °C
Examples1. 25°C + 273 = 298 K2. -45°C + 273 = 228 K3. 452 K - 273 = 179°C4. 186 K - 273 = -87°C
Quick factsThe absolute zero indicates the position where particlesof a substance have no kinetic energy.
Quick factsT is temperature in K.t is temperature in °C.
Interesting factsDaniel Gabriel Fahrenheit developed this scale by choosing the freezing point of water as 32°F and the boiling point of water as 212°F.Between the two boundaries there are 180 grade. However, this scale is not used for scientific purposes.If you ever want to convert °C to °F, you can use the following equation.
°F = 9/5°C +32
