Heat and Temperature Topics 4&5
Why do civil engineers have to think about thermal expansion and contraction when planning roadways sidewalks and bridges?
What is the fourth state of matter? • Plasma
Specific heat capacity • Amount of thermal energy that warms or cools one gram of a material by one degree celsius.
Condensation • When a gas turns into a liquid
Sublimation • When a gas changes directly to a solid or a solid changes directly to a gas
Fusion • Melting- a solid turns into a liquid • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aopdD9Cu-So
Evaporation • A liquid turns into a gas
Solidification • Freezing- a liquid turns into a solid
Evaporative cooling • As high energy particles (heat) leave the surface of a liquid, the remaining liquid is cooler than the original liquid. The cool liquid then cools the surface on which it is resting.
How does evaporation cool a liquid? • Because the most energetic particles escape from its surface
What is happening to particles of a substance during a phase change? • The total energy of a substance normally increases or decreases. • During a phase change, the average energy does not change therefore the temperature stays constant.

During a phase change, what happens to the total energy of a substance? • Why? • Stays the same • The particles no longer increase or decrease their speed, so the temperature and average energy stays the same.
When you take a shower, beads of water may form on the bathroom mirror and other cold surfaces far from the shower…..
A) Where did the water in the beads come from? • Steam condensing • B) In what state was the water that formed the beads as it traveled to the mirror? • Gas • C) What change of state is occurring when the beads of water form? • Condensation
