Heating and Cooling Curve Definitions: • Specific Heat: Amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1⁰ Celsius • Enthalpy of Fusion/Molar Heat of Fusion: Energy required to change 1 gram of a substance from solid to liquid OR energy released when changing from liquid to solid • Enthalpy of Vaporization/Molar Heat of Vaporization: Energy required to change 1 gram of a substance from liquid to gas OR energy released when changing from gas to liquid
The graph below shows the relationship between heat (energy) added, in calories (cal), and temperature for 1 g of water. A student applied heat to 1 g of ice that had been cooled to -40⁰C and measured the rise in temperature.
Step A: Solid Water (Ice) Rises in Temperature • If the temperature is not at 0°C, it will rise as heat is added to get there. (Kinetic energy is increasing) • Each gram of water requires a constant amount of energy to increase 1°C = SPECIFIC HEAT! • Important – The ice has not melted yet!
Step B: Solid Water (Ice) Melts • By addingenergy the ice begins to melt • Temperature does not increase as more energy is being added (Kinetic energy is staying constant, but potential energy is increasing) • Each mole of water requires a given amount of energy to melt = Molar Heat of Fusion (ΔHfus) in kJ/mole. • Energy is overcoming water molecules attraction for each other so it can be converted from a solid to liquid
B A
Step C: Liquid Water Rises in Temperature • Now the ice is completely melted and the water temperature begins to rise as heat is added. (specific heat) • Kinetic Energy is increasing • The water has not started to boil yet.
B C A
Step D: Liquid Water Boils • As we add energy the temperature does not change. • Each mole of water will require a constant amount of energy to boil = Molar Heat of Vaporization (ΔHvap) kJ/mole. • The energy is being used to overcome water’s attraction to each other to convert the liquid to a gas. (Kinetic energy is remaining constant but potential energy is increasing)

Step E: Steam Rises in Temperature • Temperature rises again when all water is turned to steam • Each gram of water requires a constant amount of energy to rise 1° = specific heat!
