 Temperature
How hot something feels is a measure of the kinetic energy of the
constituent atoms/molecules – these are continually randomly
jiggling. We’ll study concepts and relationships between
temperature, heat, energy, expansion.

Tells us how warm or cold an object is with respect to some standard.
Proportional to the average “translational” kinetic energy of molecules
    
i.e. motion carrying molecule from one place to
another, as opposed to rotational or vibrational motion – the latter two
don’t directly affect temperature.
 
Eg. Microwave oven: microwaves cause water molecules in food to oscillate
with considerable 
rotational 
KE. But for food to cook (i.e. temp to rise),
these molecules bounce into neighboring molecules, imparting their KE.
Many different temperature scales

E.g. the common mercury-in-glass thermometer (around 1670’s).
Themal Equilibrium
The expansion of the liquid in a thermometer depends on the 
liquid’s
temperature. So how come we say it’s reading is the temp of the object
surrounding it ??

The thermometer must be small enough that it doesn’t affect the temp
of the object you want to measure.
E.g. Can measure your body’s temp with thermometer but can’t
measure temp of drop of water with it, since contact between the
thermometer and drop can change the drop’s temp.

Not
 a property of the material – i.e. don’t say an object “contains
heat”, rather heat is 
energy in transit
. (
c.f.
 idea of work)
Rather, an object contains 
internal energy
” – 
sum of translation
kinetic (giving rise to temp), rotational kinetic, vibrational, and
potential (from intermolecular forces).
Note, temperature is 
not
 the same thing as heat !
Eg. Consider boy holding a sparkler –
2000
o
C sparks don’t bother him since
they are so small – very little internal
energy although very high temperature
Eg. Cup of very high-temp
water contains
 less
 internal
energy than  large bucket of
warm water.
Heat cont.
When heat is absorbed or given off by  object, its internal energy changes. It
may warm up – increase transl. KE.  But not always:
      it may  change “phase” eg add heat to ice - melts to water.
 
When things are in thermal contact, 
heat 
always
 flows from hotter object to
cooler object – but not necessarily from object of high internal energy to low
internal energy.
 
Eg. If spark from sparkler lands in warm water (water has higher internal energy
but less temp), heat flows from spark to water.
 
The greater the temp. difference, the greater the heat flow.
Also, can get greater heat flow if the amount of hotter substance is larger.
 
Eg. Here, add 
same
 amount of 
heat
, so increase
the internal energy of both the same. But temp in
the one with less water rises more.
Clicker Question
When you touch a giant iceberg,
A)
heat flows from your finger to the iceberg because your finger has
higher internal energy
B)
heat flows from your finger to the iceberg because your finger has
higher temperature
C)
heat flows from the iceberg to your finger because the iceberg has
higher internal energy due to its size
D)
no heat is transferred
Answer: B
Heat always flows from the hotter object to the cooler one, no matter
what the internal energies of the objects are.
Clicker Question
You heat a cup of water, half-filled, on the campfire, raising its
temp by 5
o
C. How long would it take to heat this cup with
twice the amount of water to the same temperature 5
o
C on
this campfire?
 
A) The same amount of time
B) Twice as long
C) More than twice as long
D) None of the above
 
Answer: Twice as long.
There are twice as many molecules, so each molecule would, in the same
time, gain an average of half as much energy.
Measuring Heat
Heat is flow of energy, so is measured in energy units, i.e. Joules.

1 calorie = amount of heat required to change temp of 1 gram of water by
1
o
C.
1 kilocalorie = amount of heat required to change temp of 1 kilogram of water
by 1
o
C.
1 calorie = 4.184 joules.
 
(Note, sometimes kilocalorie is called Calorie, with capital C)
 
Energy rating of foods/fuel is determined by burning them and measuring
energy released.
Specific Heat Capacity
Different objects have different abilities to retain heat.
Eg. Heated apple pie – the crust cools quicker than inside filling.
Eg. Toast cools off much quicker than a bowl of soup.
 
Similarly, 
same
 amounts of 
different
 objects require different
amounts of heat to be raised to the same temperature.
 
Why? Because the applied energy gets apportioned into different
proportions of internal vibration/rotation or potential (doesn’t
raise temp), and jiggling (does raise temp).
 
Eg. Water takes much longer to bring from room temperature to
boiling, than it takes same amount of oil to reach same temp.
We say water has a higher “specific heat capacity” (or just
“specific heat”) than oil.

1 gram of water requires 1 calorie of energy to raise temp by 1
o
C (i.e.
specific heat = 1 cal/(K.g))
1 gram of oil requires 0.5 calorie of energy to raise temp by 1
o
C (i.e.
specific heat =0.5 cal/(K.g))
1 gram of iron requires 0.125 calorie of energy to raise temp by 1
o
C
(i.e. specific heat = 0.125 cal/(K.g))
 
So, water is a good cooling agent (eg in cars, engines…)
Equally, once heated, it keeps warm for long time (eg. hot-water
bottles on cold nights)
 
Clicker Question
Why will a watermelon stay cool for a longer time than sandwiches
when both are removed from a cooler on a hot day?
A)
Because water has a higher specific heat capacity than bread
B)
Because bread has a higher specific heat capacity than water
C)
They have the same specific heat capacity but sandwiches are
smaller – if the watermelon was the same size as the sandwich
they would warm up at equal rates.

Specific heat of water and climate
 
Water moderates the climate: more energy  needed to warm
water than to warm land
e.g. islands/peninsulas don’t have extreme
temps like interior lands do
 
 
 Europe is at about the same latitude as parts of northeastern Canada but is
not so cold. Why?
The Gulf Stream carries warm water northeast from the Caribbean,
remaining warm, even up to coast of Europe. Here it cools, releasing energy
into the air – goes into westerly winds (i.e. winds from the west), warming
Europe. If water didn’t have such a high specific heat, Europe would be as
cold as northeastern Canada!
 
 Ocean doesn’t vary its temp much from summer to winter, because of high
specific heat – so, in winter, it warms the air (air changes temp more, small
specific heat), whereas in summer, it cools the air. Hence, westerly winds
keep San Francisco warmer in winter, and cooler in summer than
Washington DC even though same latitude.
Thermal Expansion
Generally, matter expands when heated, contracts when cooled 
– can
understand in terms of increased (heated) or decreased (cooling)
jiggling motion of molecules.

Generally liquids expand more than solids.
 
 
This is important for a glass thermometer filled with mercury liquid –
mercury expands more than the glass. If not, it wouldn’t increase
height with increasing temp.
 
Important to account for expansion  in building and construction.

eliminate the sound – and laid down on hottest
days to avoid buckling due to heat. On cooler
days, the tracks contract, but that just stretches
the tracks, not distorting them

Thermal expansion cont.
 
Different materials expand at different rates: e.g. brass more than iron
Generally, something that expands more when heated, also contracts
more when cooled.
eg. 
Bimetallic strip
: brass expands and contracts more than iron – explains
curves in strip shown (outer curve longer than inner)
Useful in devices, eg in thermostats, bending in response to temp
 
change
can open/close circuit in a heating or cooling unit.
Clicker Question

undergoes a change: volume, mass, or density?
A)
Volume alone
B)
 Density alone
C)
 Volume and Density
D)
 Mass alone
E)
 Mass, Volume and Density
 
Answer: C
Volume increases and density decreases . Mass remains the same.
Other Questions
 Why is it advisable not to completely fill the gas tank in a car that may
sit in sunlight in a hot day after being filled?
 
As it warms, it expands, overflowing and causing a hazard.
 If place a dented ping-pong ball in boiling water, the dent is
removed. Why?
   
Because the ball expands as its temp rises,
so pops back out into a sphere.
Anomolous expansion of water
All common liquids expand when
heated – but 
not
 water at temps
near the freezing point!
 
Ice-cold water at melting temp, 0
o
C = 32
o
F,
contracts
 when temp is increased – until
4
o
C, after which it does expand like normal
materials:
At what temp does water have its greatest density?
At 4
o
C, smallest volume.
When water is solid ice (just below 0
o
C), its volume is larger, and density
smaller (hence ice floats on water). But if further cooled, then it will
contract.
Ice has crystalline structure – open-structured crystals due to angular
shape of water molecules.
In ice-cold water, most molecules are in liquid phase (water) but also a
few ice-crystals here and there.
Clicker Question
Will a chunk of lead float on melted lead just as ice floats
on water?
A)
Yes
B)
No
C)
Depends on how big the chunk is
Answer: B, No.
Solid lead is more dense than liquid lead. Water is almost
unique in that it is less dense in the solid phase.

If there were air in the open spaces, the illustration would have
to show the molecules of air, such as O
2
 and N
2
, which are
comparable in size to water molecules. Any water vapor would
be seen as unassociated water molecules spaced relatively far
apart. Neither of these are shown in the illustration. Instead, the
open pockets represent nothing but empty space—void.
Understanding the dip in the volume curve:
Two competing effects as you add heat to ice-cold water
 (i) (spaced-out) ice-crystals collapsing
(ii) faster molecular motion
The
 dip explains why organisms  can exist in ponds in winter:
Consider if there was no dip:
 so water would continue getting denser through
to freezing point (like 
most
 liquids). Then coldest water would be at bottom of
pond, since it is densest. Organisms would be killed in winter 
Fortunately, the densest water is at 4
o
C
, so this is the temp at bottom
of a pond in winter. Instead, ice (=water at freezing point, 0
o
C) is less
dense so floats to the top, leading to happy fish below at 4

As it cools, water sinks until 
all
 pond is 4

C. After
that, lower temps can be reached and this floats
on top and freezes– right at top of water is ice at
0
o
C.
This, together with water’s high specific heat, means that very deep bodies
of water are not ice-covered even in mid-winter – need to get 
whole
 body to
4

C first, not just the upper part.

When the temperature increases, the metal
expands—in 
all 
directions. It gets thicker; its
inner as well as its outer diameter increases;
every part of it increases by the same proportion.
To better see this, pretend that the ring is cut in
four pieces before being heated. When heated
they all expand. 
 
Can you see when they are
reassembled that the hole is larger?
Next time you can’t open the metal lid on a jar: Heat the lid by placing it over a hot
stove or under hot water so that its temperature momentarily increases more than
the glass jar.  Its inner circumference will increase and you’ll easily unscrew the lid

  1. Today: Finish Chapter 14 (Gases and Plasmas) Chapter 15 (Temp, Heat, Expansion) Looking ahead: 2nd midterm Nov 18

  2. Temperature How hot something feels is a measure of the kinetic energy of the constituent atoms/molecules these are continually randomly jiggling. We ll study concepts and relationships between temperature, heat, energy, expansion. Temperature Tells us how warm or cold an object is with respect to some standard. Proportional to the average translational kinetic energy of molecules another, as opposed to rotational or vibrational motion the latter two don t directly affect temperature. i.e. motion carrying molecule from one place to Eg. Microwave oven: microwaves cause water molecules in food to oscillate with considerable rotational KE. But for food to cook (i.e. temp to rise), these molecules bounce into neighboring molecules, imparting their KE.

  3. Thermometers work by means of expansion or contraction of a liquid. E.g. the common mercury-in-glass thermometer (around 1670 s). Many different temperature scales: (1) Celsius, or centigrade: Assign 0 to the temp at which water freezes, and 100 to the temp at which water boils (at standard atmos pressure). Divide space in between evenly in 100 - each is called a degree , oC. (Celsius was a Swedish astronomer in 1700 s who came up with this) (2) Fahrenheit: used in the US. Assign 32 to temp at which water freezes, and 212 to temp at which water boils. So, 1oF is smaller than 1oC. Will become obsolete if the US ever converts to Celsius like the rest of the world. (3) Kelvin: calibrated in terms of energy, rather than water freezing/boiling points. Assign 0 to lowest possible temperature, where there is no kinetic energy called absolute zero= -273oC. The unit, 1oK = 1oC. All temps are positive on the Kelvin scale.

  4. Themal Equilibrium The expansion of the liquid in a thermometer depends on the liquid s temperature. So how come we say it s reading is the temp of the object surrounding it ?? Because of thermal equilibrium : Energy flows between two objects in contact with each other until they reach the same temperature. The thermometer must be small enough that it doesn t affect the temp of the object you want to measure. E.g. Can measure your body s temp with thermometer but can t measure temp of drop of water with it, since contact between the thermometer and drop can change the drop s temp.

  5. Heat Heat = energy transferred from one object to another due to a temperature difference between them Not a property of the material i.e. don t say an object contains heat , rather heat is energy in transit. (c.f. idea of work) Rather, an object contains internal energy sum of translation kinetic (giving rise to temp), rotational kinetic, vibrational, and potential (from intermolecular forces). Note, temperature is not the same thing as heat ! Eg. Consider boy holding a sparkler 2000oC sparks don t bother him since they are so small very little internal energy although very high temperature Eg. Cup of very high-temp water contains less internal energy than large bucket of warm water.

  6. Heat cont. When heat is absorbed or given off by object, its internal energy changes. It may warm up increase transl. KE. But not always: it may change phase eg add heat to ice - melts to water. When things are in thermal contact, heat always flows from hotter object to cooler object but not necessarily from object of high internal energy to low internal energy. Eg. If spark from sparkler lands in warm water (water has higher internal energy but less temp), heat flows from spark to water. The greater the temp. difference, the greater the heat flow. Also, can get greater heat flow if the amount of hotter substance is larger. Eg. Here, add same amount of heat, so increase the internal energy of both the same. But temp in the one with less water rises more.

  7. Clicker Question When you touch a giant iceberg, A) heat flows from your finger to the iceberg because your finger has higher internal energy B) heat flows from your finger to the iceberg because your finger has higher temperature C) heat flows from the iceberg to your finger because the iceberg has higher internal energy due to its size D) no heat is transferred Answer: B Heat always flows from the hotter object to the cooler one, no matter what the internal energies of the objects are.

  8. Clicker Question You heat a cup of water, half-filled, on the campfire, raising its temp by 5oC. How long would it take to heat this cup with twice the amount of water to the same temperature 5oC on this campfire? A) The same amount of time B) Twice as long C) More than twice as long D) None of the above Answer: Twice as long. There are twice as many molecules, so each molecule would, in the same time, gain an average of half as much energy.

  9. Measuring Heat Heat is flow of energy, so is measured in energy units, i.e. Joules. Also, often use Calorie: (or kilocalorie = 1000 cal) 1 calorie = amount of heat required to change temp of 1 gram of water by 1oC. 1 kilocalorie = amount of heat required to change temp of 1 kilogram of water by 1oC. 1 calorie = 4.184 joules. (Note, sometimes kilocalorie is called Calorie, with capital C) Energy rating of foods/fuel is determined by burning them and measuring energy released.

  10. Specific Heat Capacity Different objects have different abilities to retain heat. Eg. Heated apple pie the crust cools quicker than inside filling. Eg. Toast cools off much quicker than a bowl of soup. Similarly, same amounts of different objects require different amounts of heat to be raised to the same temperature. Why? Because the applied energy gets apportioned into different proportions of internal vibration/rotation or potential (doesn t raise temp), and jiggling (does raise temp). Eg. Water takes much longer to bring from room temperature to boiling, than it takes same amount of oil to reach same temp. We say water has a higher specific heat capacity (or just specific heat ) than oil. The specific heat capacity of any substance is defined as the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by 1 degree.

  11. Specific Heat cont. Specific heat is like thermal inertia resistance to change temp when heat is added. Water has exceptionally high specific heat i.e. small amount of water can absorb a lot of heat while only changing temp. a little. 1 gram of water requires 1 calorie of energy to raise temp by 1oC (i.e. specific heat = 1 cal/(K.g)) 1 gram of oil requires 0.5 calorie of energy to raise temp by 1oC (i.e. specific heat =0.5 cal/(K.g)) 1 gram of iron requires 0.125 calorie of energy to raise temp by 1oC (i.e. specific heat = 0.125 cal/(K.g)) So, water is a good cooling agent (eg in cars, engines ) Equally, once heated, it keeps warm for long time (eg. hot-water bottles on cold nights)

  12. Clicker Question Why will a watermelon stay cool for a longer time than sandwiches when both are removed from a cooler on a hot day? A) B) C) Because water has a higher specific heat capacity than bread Because bread has a higher specific heat capacity than water They have the same specific heat capacity but sandwiches are smaller if the watermelon was the same size as the sandwich they would warm up at equal rates. Answer A: Water has a high specific heat capacity, so takes a long time to heat up or cool down. The water in the watermelon resists changes in temp, so once cooled will stay cooler longer than sandwiches or other non-watery substances.

  13. Specific heat of water and climate Water moderates the climate: more energy needed to warm water than to warm land e.g. islands/peninsulas don t have extreme temps like interior lands do Europe is at about the same latitude as parts of northeastern Canada but is not so cold. Why? The Gulf Stream carries warm water northeast from the Caribbean, remaining warm, even up to coast of Europe. Here it cools, releasing energy into the air goes into westerly winds (i.e. winds from the west), warming Europe. If water didn t have such a high specific heat, Europe would be as cold as northeastern Canada! Ocean doesn t vary its temp much from summer to winter, because of high specific heat so, in winter, it warms the air (air changes temp more, small specific heat), whereas in summer, it cools the air. Hence, westerly winds keep San Francisco warmer in winter, and cooler in summer than Washington DC even though same latitude.

  14. Thermal Expansion Generally, matter expands when heated, contracts when cooled can understand in terms of increased (heated) or decreased (cooling) jiggling motion of molecules. E.g. Telephone wires become longer and sag on hot day. E.g. Opening a stiff metal lid on glass jar easier to do if hold under hot water for a while since metal expands more than the glass. E.g. NY s Verrazano bridge s roadway is 12 feet lower in the summer than in winter, because of thermal expansion/contraction of the steel cables; Golden Gate bridge (San Francisco) contracts more than a meter in cold weather. Generally liquids expand more than solids. This is important for a glass thermometer filled with mercury liquid mercury expands more than the glass. If not, it wouldn t increase height with increasing temp. Important to account for expansion in building and construction.

  15. Thermal expansion cont. E.g Filling material for tooth cavities has same rate of expansion as teeth. Eg. or bridges are intersected by gaps (often with tar) so concrete can Concrete roads freely expand in summer, contract in winter. Eg. Railroad tracks No gaps in tracks in pic. here, so tracks buckled on a very hot day. Generally, they have gaps that make a clickety- clack sound. Now instead they are welded together to eliminate the sound and laid down on hottest days to avoid buckling due to heat. On cooler days, the tracks contract, but that just stretches the tracks, not distorting them Thermal expansion: The extreme temperature of a July day in Asbury Park, NJ, caused these railroad tracks to buckle and derail the train in the distance.
