Calorimetry
4. Heat
The molecules in a substance are in a
state of random motion.
The energy of random motion of the
molecules of a substance (K.E) is
known as its internal energy
(transferred – heat)
Heat supplied is +ve and given out is -ve 4
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
5. Note : matter does not contain
heat.
Matter contains molecular KE
and PE, not heat.
Heat is energy in transit from
higher temp body to lower
temp body.
Work is energy in transit, but
body does not contain work.5

quantity of heat energy required to raise
the temperature of 1g of pure water
through 1oC ( from 14.5 oC to 15.5 oC)
1 calorie = 4.186 J
Calorie :(big calorie or Kcal or doctors cal)

When two bodies at two different
temperatures are in contact, Heat
energy flows from body at higher
temperature to body at lower
temperature untill both the bodies
acquire same termperature.

20. Heat (thermal) capacity
Amount of heat energy required
to raise the temperature of a
given mass of a substance
through 1oC
Heat capacity C’ = Heat given / rise in temp
C’ = Q/ ΔT
Unit - J/K or J/oC 20
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
22. • Physical quantity that characterizes
the amount of heat required to
change a body's temperature by a
given amount .
• Bodies were capable of holding a
certain amount of caloric.
• Now it is known that no body contains
heat, but internal energy, therefore
thermal capacity is more apt.
22
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
23. Most physical systems exhibit a positive heat
capacity.
There are some systems for which the heat
capacity is negative which results in negative
temperature.
For gravitating objects such as stars , black holes
,etc, Virial theorm gives Upot = -2Ukin
Total energy U = -Ukin
If the system loses energy, for example by
radiating energy away into space, the average
kinetic energy and with it the average
temperature actually increases. The system
therefore can be said to have a negative heat
capacity. 23
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
24. cal / oC or kilocal/oC may

31. Intensive and Extensive property
Intensive property (also called a bulk property,
intensive quantity, or intensive variable, is a
physical property of a system that does not depend
on the system size or the amount of material in the
system: it is scale invariant.
Eg. Sp.heat capacity , density
Extensive property (also extensive quantity,
extensive variable, or extensive parameter) of a
system is directly proportional to the system size or
the amount of material in the system.
Eg. Heat capacity , mass , volume

36. Calorimeter
• A calorimeter is an experimental device in which a
chemical reaction or physical process takes place.
• The calorimeter is well-insulated so that, ideally, no
heat enters or leaves the calorimeter from the
surroundings.
• Any heat liberated by the reaction or process being
studied must be picked up by the calorimeter and
other substances in the calorimeter.
• A thermometer is typically inserted in the calorimeter
to measure the change in temperature that results
from the reaction or physical process.
• A stirrer is employed to keep the contents of the
calorimeter well-mixed and to ensure uniform heating36
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
37. Experimental determination of sp.heat
capacity of a solid insoluble in water
i. Small piece of given solid is weighed (m)
and heated by suspending in a beaker
containing boiling water.

is weighed using physical balance (m1)
iii. Calorimeter is filled with 1/3rd water and
weighed again and mass of water is
noted as ( m2), by taking difference.

Heat lost by hot solid = heat gained by
calorimeter + water
mc ( T1 – T) = m1c1 (T-T2) + m2c2 (T-T2)
c – sp.heat capacity of solid
c1 – sp.heat capacity of copper
c2 – sp.heat capacity of water .

(at 15 °C, 101.325 kPa)
42
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
43. Water has a relatively high specific heat capacity due to
the hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a
particularly strong intermolecular force that involves
three major features:
- A large dipole between an H atom and a highly
electronegative atom.
- The small H atom which can get very close to other
atoms.
- A lone pair of electrons on another O, N or F atom, with
which the positively charged H atom can line up.
A major amount of energy is needed in overcoming the
hydrogen bonding. This energy cannot be used to raise
the temperature of water, therefore more energy is
needed to raise the temperature. 43
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
44. Advantageous of high specific heat
capacity of water.
i. Land and Sea breezes.
Sp.heat capacity of water(4200J/Kg/K) is
nealy 5 times that of sand and earth.
So land (near sea) gets heated during day
(or cooled during night) much earlier
than water.
This results in drop in pressure over the
land mass during day time and over sea
during night . 44
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
45. Advantageous of high specific heat
capacity of water.
ii. Regulation of temperature of body
80% of the human body constitutes
water. Sudden change in the
surrounding temperature does not
affect the heath, because of high
specific heat capacity of water.
Thus protecting animal and plant life.
45
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
46. Applications of high specific heat
capacity of water.
i. Fomentation : ( heating swollen parts of
the body at a moderate temperature of
50oC)

can store large amount of
heat energy at a fairly low
temperature.
46
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
48. Applications of high specific heat

Agriculture: Farmers water
their fields before rain in
order to save the crops
from the adverse effect of
50
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
51. Because of high C, water liberates large
amount of heat which prevent the
surrounding temp from falling below 0oC
Otherwise, water in the capillaries of plants
freezes to ice, which will break the
capillaries due to anomalous expansion.
51
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
53. Applications of high specific heat
capacity of water.
Coolant : Flowing water through
pipes around the heated parts of
the machine – radiator, nuclear
reactor etc – remove heat and
cools the machine. 53

circulated in pipes
around room to keep
the room hot. 55
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
57. Applications of high specific heat
capacity of water.

Water takes large amount of
heat from head and thus
lowers temperature of
body.
57
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
59. It is sometimes injurious to put on
wet clothes. Why?
Because of high C of water,
wet clothes take away large
amount of heat from the body .

60Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
62. On a hot summer day when atm
temp is 40oC or above, water in a
swimming pool or large lake remains
comfortably cool ( around 25oC ).
why?
∆T = Q/ mc or ∆T α 1/c
Rise in temperature of water will
low due to high C of water .
62Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
63. On clear nights in winter, frost forms
quickly on parked cars. Why ?
When temperature of atm falls, all
bodies radiate heat.
Car being metallic has low C, as
compared to non metallic objects and
cools quickly.
Temperature of car body falls below,
freezing point of water and water
vapour in the atmosphere freezes. 63
64. A certain quantity of heat is
supplied to both a kg of water and
to a kg of iron . Which undergoes
the greater change in

long duration .
69
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
70. Calorimeter is made of thin copper
Thin – less mass
Copper – low sp. heat capacity
Calorimeter has low thermal
capacity.
So contents inside get heat
energy very quickly

71. Change of phase
Solid to liquid - melting
Liquid to solid - freezing

71
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
75. Melting and Fusion
Change of phase from solid to
liquid on heating at a constant
temperature is called melting.
constant temp. - M.P or F.P
Liquid to solid with rejection of
heat is called freezing or
fusion.
75

76. Vaporization or boiling
Change of phase from liquid to
vapour on heating at a
constant temperature
constant T - boiling point or
ebullition pt ( liquefaction pt)

79
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
80. Regelation of ice
Press two pieces of ice together.
on releasing, two blocks appear
stick together. This phenomenon
is regelation of ice.
Reason: when pressure increases ,
M.P decreases and a layer of
water is formed b/w the ice
On releasing M.P rises to 0oC and
layer of water gets frozen.
80
82. Effect of pressure on M.P
Substance which expand
on melting (eg. wax, lead)
M.P increases with
increase in pressure .

presence of impurities
Eg. Kulphies
( freezing mixture made by adding
salt to ice , which reduces the m.p
of ice to -22oC )

molecules in a gram of
steam? 84
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
85. Vapourisation
Change of phase from liquid to gas
on heating at a constant
temperature( B.P ) is called
vapourisation (Heat is absorbed. )
Reverse is condensation or
liquefaction
Note : all liquids expand on boiling.
( 1cm3 of water at 100oC changes to
1760 cm3 of steam at 100oC ) 85
86. Effect of pressure on B.P of water
BP of water increases with pressure.
In a pressure cooker P = 1.75atm, water
boils at 120oC to 125oC and such water
above 100oC is known as super heated
water.
At high altitudes , P is less, water boils at a
temperature below 100oC and cooking is
difficult.
Water vapour below 100oC – super cooled
vapour. 86
Dr. Pius Augustine, S H College
87. Effect of impurities on B.P of
water.
Addition of impurities increases
the B.P of a liquid.
