CHEM 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Joule
Document Summary
When objects at different temperatures come into contact, heat flows from the hotter to the cooler until the temperatures are the same. Heat lost by the hot body = heat gained by the cooler body. 12 g of copper at 12. 0oc is placed in 5. 0 g of ethanol at 68. 0oc. What is the final temperature? ccopper cethanol q=cxmx t. Start with 500 g of ice and heat. It melts, then warms up and eventually boils, then steam heats up. If we plot temperature as a function of the heat input, we get the heating. Curve. but (a) the plot is not a curve and (b) does not increase continuously. Ice - water system involves bonds between the molecules. We go from stronger in ice to weaker in water, and so heat is taken in. In an endothermic reaction: heat is transferred from the surroundings, strongly bonded molecules are converted to weakly bonded molecules.
