1. HEAT
(THERMOMETRY)
1. Heat: It is the sum of total of kinetic and potential energy
of all the molecules in a given substance which always
flows from a body of high temperature to the body of low
temperature till the temperatures equalize.
2. Temperature: Temperature is the degree of hotness or
coldness of a body or Temperature is a quantity that
decides which body is hotter and which is colder. So
temperature decides direction of heat (energy) flow, where as heat is the energy
itself that flow.
“On the basis of the kinetic model of matter, temperature can be defined as the
average of the kinetic energy of all the molecules of a substance.”
3. Thermal equilibrium: When two bodies are placed in thermal contact, heat
energy will be transferred from the „hotter‟ body to the „colder‟ body. This transfer
of heat energy is continued till both bodies attain same degree of hotness (or)
coldness. At this stage, we say that the bodies have achieved „thermal equilibrium‟.
Thus, „State of thermal equilibrium denotes a state of a body where it neither
receives nor gives out heat energy‟.
4. Specific Heat: The amount of heat required to
rising the temperature of unit mass of a material
through 10C or 1 K is called specific heat or specific
heat capacity.
5. Evaporation: “The
process of escaping of
molecules from the
surface of a liquid at
any temperature is
called evaporation.”
It is a natural process.
6. Condensation: When the molecules of water in air,
during their motion, strike the surface of glass
tumbler which is cool; then the molecules of air lose
their kinetic energy which leads to lower the
temperature and they get converted into droplets.
Hence we can conclude that the temperature of the

water in glass tumbler increases. This process is called „condensation‟. It is
warming process. “Condensation” can also be defined as the phase changes from
gas to liquid that at the surface of a cool body”.
7. Humidity: Some vapor is always present in air. This vapor may come from
evaporation of water from the surfaces of rivers, lakes, ponds and from the drying
of wet clothes, sweat and so on. “The presence of vapor molecules in air is humid.”
“The amount of water vapor present in air is called the humidity of air.”
8. Dew: During winter nights, the atmospheric temperature goes down. The surfaces
of
window-panes, flower, grass etc, become
still colder. The air near them becomes saturates and condensation begins. “The
water droplets condensed on such surface of any
body are known as dew”.
9. Fog: If the temperature falls further, the whole
atmosphere in that region contain maximum amount
of vapor. So the water molecules present in vapor
condense on the dust particles in air and form small
droplets of water. These “droplets keep on
floating in the air and form a thick mist which restricts visibility. This
thick mist is called fog”.
10. Boiling point: “The process in which the liquid phase
changes to gaseous phase at a
constant temperature “. This
temperature is called boiling
point of the liquid.
11. Latent heat of vaporization:
The heat energy is required to
change 1gr of liquid to gas at
constant temperature is called
latent heat of vaporization.
Note: The boiling point of water at constant atmospheric pressure (1atm) is 1000
C or 373K and latent heat of water is 540 cal/g.
12. Melting point: The process in which solid phase changes
to liquid phase at a constant
temperature. This constant
temperature is called melting point.
13. Freezing point: “The process in
which the substance in liquid
phase changes to solid phase by
losing some energy from it is
called freezing.”

1. What would be the final temperature of a mixture of
50g of water at 200C temperature and 50g of water at
400C temperature? (AS1)
Answer: Data given
m1 = 50 g (Mass of water)
m2 = 50 g (Mass of water)
Temperature T1 = 200C, Temperature T2 = 40
0C
According to method of mixtures
Final temperature T = = = = 300C
2. Explain why dogs pant during hot summer days using
the concept of evaporation? (AS1) Answer: We see generally dogs pant during summer days
to reduce their internal temperature. When dogs pant, the
water molecule present on the tongue and in the mouth
gets evaporate by absorbing some heat energy from their
bodies. Consequently dog‟s bodies get cooled.
3. Why do we get dew on the surface of a cold soft drink bottle kept in open air? (AS1)
Answer: Air contains water molecules in the
form of vapor (due to humidity). When the
molecules of water in air, during their motion,
strike the surface of glass bottle (tumbler)
which is cool; then the molecules of water in
air lose their kinetic energy which leads to
lower the temperature and they get converted
(condensation) into droplets. Such droplets on
surface of bottle are seen as dew.

4. Write the differences between evaporation and boiling? (AS1)
Answer:
S.No. Evaporation Boiling
1. The process of escaping of
molecules from the surface of a
liquid at any temperature is called
evaporation
The process in which the liquid
phase changes to gaseous phase at a
constant temperature
2. Temperature of the system falls
during evaporation.
Temperature of the system (liquid)
remains same during boiling.
3. It is a cooling process It does not cause any cooling.
4. Evaporation is a surface
phenomenon.
Boiling is a bulk phenomenon.
5. Evaporation takes place at all the
temperatures.
Boiling takes place at boiling point
of the given liquid only.
5. Does the surrounding air become warm or cool when vapor phase of H2O
condenses? Explain. (AS1)
Answer: Air contains water molecules in the form of vapor (humidity). When
the molecules of water in air, during their motion, strike the surface of glass
tumbler which is cool; then the molecules of air lose their kinetic energy which
leads to lower the temperature and they get converted (condensation) into droplets.
The energy lost by the water molecule in air will be given to the molecules of
glass tumbler. Hence the average kinetic energy of the glass molecules increases. In
turn the energy is transferred from glass molecules to the water molecules in the glass.
In this way the average kinetic energy of water molecules in the tumbler rises. Hence
we can conclude that the temperature of the water in glass increases. This process
is called „condensation’. It is warming process. “Condensation” can also be defined
as the phase changes from gas to liquid that at the surface of the liquid”.
Let us examine a situation:
You feel warm after you finish your bath under the shower on hot day. In the
bathroom, the number of vapour molecules per unit volume is greater than number of
vapour molecules per unit volume outside the room. When you try to dry yourself
with a towel, the vapour molecules surrounding you condense on your skin and
this condensation makes you feel warm.

a) How much energy is transferred when 1gm of boiling water at 1000C
condenses to water at 1000C?
b) How much energy is transferred when 1gm of boiling water at 1000C
Cools to water at 00C?
c) How much energy is transferred when 1gm of water at 00C freezes to
Ice at 00C?
d) How much energy is transferred when 1gm of steam at 1000C turns
to ice 00C?
Answer:
The heat energy is required to change 1gr of liquid to gas at constant temperature
is called latent heat of vaporization.
Consider a liquid of mass „m‟ requires heat energy „Q‟ calories to change
from its state liquid phase to gas phase. Then Latent heat of vaporization is Q/m.
Latent heat of vaporization is denoted by „L‟. L =
CGS unit and SI unit of latent heat of vaporization is cal/gm and J/kg respectively.
The boiling point of water at constant atmospheric pressure (1atm) is 100°C or 373K
and Latent heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/gm.
a): Both steam and water have same temperature, which is 1000C
Constant temperature - 1000C,
We know that latent heat of vaporization (L), L =
Quantity of heat transferred Q = m L
The latent heat of vaporization (L) of water is 540cal/gm (at373K and 1 atm
pressure)
L = 540 cal/gm, m = 1gm
Q = m L = 1 X 540 = 540 cal
b): Boiling water at 1000C cools to water 0
0C
T1 = 1000C, T2 = 0
0C and m = 1gm
Quantity of heat transferred Q = mS
= 1 X 1 X (100 – 0) (specific heat of water 1cal/gm – 0C)
= 100 cal.
c):1gm mass of water at 00C freezes to ice at 0
0C
The Heat energy required to convert 1gm of solid completely into
liquid at a constant temperature is called Latent heat of fusion.
Consider a solid of mass m which requires heat energy Q to change from
the solid phase to liquid phase. The heat required to change 1gm of solid into
liquid is Q/m.
Latent heat of fusion L = Q/m. The value of Latent heat of fusion of ice is
80cal/gm
Quantity of heat withdrawn (release) during freezing Q = m L
Latent heat of fusion of ice (L), L = = 80 cal/gm.
Q = m L = 1X 80 = 80 cal. (1gm mass of water)
d):1gm of steam at 1000C turns to ice at 0
0C
Conversion of 1000C steam to 100
0C water releases 540cal/gm,
Conversion of 1000C water to 0
0C water releases 100cal/gm
Conversion of 00C water to 0
0C ice releases 80cal/gm
Total Quantity of heat leased during transfer of 1000C steam to 0
0C ice is
Q = 540cal + 100cal + 80cal
= 720 cal.

7. Explain the procedure of finding specific heat of solid experimentally. (AS1)
Answer: Determination of Specific heat of solid
Aim: To find the specific heat of given solid.
Apparatus: calorimeter, thermometer, stirrer, water, steam heater, wooden box
and lead shots.
Procedure: The mass of the calorimeter along with stirrer is determined by common
balance. One third of the volume of the calorimeter is filled with water and its mass
is measured as.
The calorimeter is placed in the wooden box and temperature is measured using
thermometer. Lead pieces is placed in steam heater they are heated to a
temperature
is quickly transferred in to calorimeter,
with minimum loss of heat. Contents in
the calorimeter are stirred well and then
resultant temperature is noted.
Since there is no loss of heat to
surroundings, we can assume that the
entire heat lost by the solid is transferred
to the calorimeter and water to reach the
final temperature. The mass of the
calorimeter along with contents is
measured as m3.If, and are the specific heats of the calorimeter, solid pieces and water
respectively.
Heat lost by the solid = Heat gain by the calorimeter + Heat gain by the water
(m3- m1 ) SL(T2-T3) = m1 Sc(T3-T1)+(m2-m1) Sw(T3-T1)
Ss =
Here the specific heat of calorimeter is Sc
The specific heat of lead shot is SL
The specific heat of water is SW
Knowing the specific heat capacities of we can calculate the specific heat of the
solid pieces.
8. Covert 200C into Kelvin scale. (AS1)
Answer: The relation between absolute scale of temperature (K) and degree
Celsius (0C).
K = 0C + 273
Data given C = 200C, K = 20 + 273 = 293K
200C is equal to 293K

10. What happens to the water when wet clothes dry? (AS3)
Answer: When wet clothes are exposed to air by spading in large area, it is
possible to absorb heat energy by water molecules present in the wet cloths change
their state there by leaving the clothes on blowing wind. It is evaporation process
as the water changes its state to vapor at any temperature.
11. Equal amounts of water are kept in a cup and in a dish. Which will evaporate
faster? Why? (AS3)
Answer: The phenomenon of evaporation is depends on three factors, they are
surface area and temperature and humidity. So evaporation increase as increase the
surface area of vassal. The water in dish will be evaporated faster than cup.
12. Suggest an experiment to prove that rate of evaporation of liquid depends on
its surface area and vapor already present in surrounding air. (AS3)
Answer: We know that the rate of evaporation depends on three factors. They are
surface area, temperature and humidity.
To prove the rate of evaporation depends on the above factors
Take a few drops of spirit (say 1 ml) in a Petri dish (a shallow glass or plastic
cylindrical dish used in the laboratory) and a 5 ml test tube separately at room
temperature. (Make sure there is
no flame near it). In a short period
of time you will notice that spirit
in the dish disappears where as in
the test tube some spirit left over.
This is due to surface area of
Petri dish is greater than the test
tube. This observation shows that
evaporation increase in increase of surface area.
If any water vapor (humidity) is already present in air of surrounding area
increase the rate of evaporation. Humidity results a rise in temperature in the
surrounding the dish.
13. Place a Pyrex funnel with its mouth-down in a sauce pan with full of water, in
such a way that the stem tube of the funnel is above the water or pointing
upward into air. Rest the edge of the bottom portion of the funnel on a nail or
on a coin so that water can get under it. Place the pan on a stove and heat it
till it begins to boil. Where do the bubbles form first? Why? Can you explain
how a geyser works using above experience? (AS4)
Answer: Bubbling formation starts from the
bottom of the sauce pan water where nail or
coin arranged here boiling point of water
increase with increase in pressure which is
due to pressure exerted by water column at
that point. So boiling begins near the bottom,
bubbles rise and push out the water as an
eruption. In the same way the geyser works.
The boiling point of deep water rises above
1000C due to pressure exerted by weight of
water column at that point with which water can be pushed out as an eruption.

14. Collect the information about working of geyser and prepare a report. (AS4)
Answer: Geyser is a source to erupt hot water from underground periodically.
It is a narrow, vertical cavity formed in
the earth crust through which ground
water seeps. This deeper water column
heated and starts boiling above 1000C
due to pressure exerted by the water
column exist up to that point and due to
heat source such as volcano‟s nearby .
The deeper water at this point
considerably hotter than surface water
and conventional transfer of heat is
blocked by narrowness of the geyser.
Therefore it begins boiling near the bottom and the bubbles rising above push the
water out starting the eruption which makes the water rushes out consequently the
pressure on the remaining water is reduced thus boiling process is accelerated
continuously to erupt (spray) hot water into air.
15. How do you appreciate the role of the higher specific heat of water in
stabilizing atmospheric temperature during winter and summer seasons?
(AS6)
Answer: The sun is a bountiful source of energy to radiate onto the earth daily.
This heat energy is absorbed by the water in oceans, seas, and other water sources.
If there is no water, all the heat energy received by the earth‟s atmosphere leads to
a lot of increase in temperature of the earth. But it is not happening due to the
presence of water. As the specific heat of water is high, all the heat energy sent by
the sun is received by water and causes the stabilization of temperature in the
atmosphere. In this aspect we can appreciate the role of higher specific heat of
water in the stabilization of atmospheric temperature.
16. Suppose that 1l of water is heated for a certain time to rise and its
temperature by 20C. If 2l of water is heated for the same time, by how much
will its temperature rises? (AS7)
Answer: Data given
m1 = 1l,S1 = 1 cal/g .0C, = 2
0C m2 = 2l, S2 = 1 cal/g .
0C, = ?
If same quantity of heat is supplied for same time.
Q1 = Q2 = m1 S1 = m2 S2
= = 10C
The temperature raised during this process is 10C
17. What role does specific heat capacity play in a watermelon to keep it cool for
long time after removing it from a fridge on a hot day? (AS7)
Answer: We know that a watermelon contains large extent of water. As the
specific heat of water is very high, it takes more time to increase its temperature of
1gm water by 10C as well as (in reverse), it takes long time to decrease its
temperature to 10C. So watermelon takes a lot of time for cooling when compared
to other fruits in the fridge.

18. If you are chilly outside the shower stall, why do you feel warm after the bath
if you stay in bathroom? (AS7)
Answer: You feel warm after you finish your bath under the shower on hot day. In
the bathroom, the number of vapour molecules per unit volume is greater than number
of vapour molecules per unit volume outside the room. When you try to dry
yourself with a towel, the vapour molecules surrounding you condense on your
skin and this condensation makes you feel warm.
19. Assume that heat is being supplied continuously to the ice at -50C. You know
that ice melts at 00C and boils at 100
0C.
Continue the heating till it starts boiling.
Note the temperature for every minute.
Draw a graph between temperature and
heat using the values you get. What do
you understand from the graph? Write
the conclusions. (AS5)
Answer:
From the graph given aside we conclude
that
From A to B i.e., (0 to t1) in this zone the
temperature of ice increases. Here
heat given to ice is considered as
specific heat.
From B to C i.e., (t1 to t3) in this
zone ice melts to water at 00C. So
heat is given to ice is considered as
latent heat of fusion.
From C to D i.e., (t3 to t4) in this
zone the temperature of water
increases from 00C to 100
0C. So
heat is given to water is considered
as specific heat.
From D to E i.e., (t4 to t6) in this
zone water converts into steam at
1000C. So heat is given is
considered as latent heat of vaporization.

How can you understand the meanings of „coldness‟,
„hotness‟ and „temperature‟ by an activity?
Material required: A piece of wood, a piece of metal, a
refrigerator.
Procedure: Take a piece of wood and a piece of metal and
keep them in a fridge or ice box. After 15 minutes, take
them out and ask your friend to touch them.
When we keep materials in a fridge, they become
Cell: 9505123175
10 Mc EMMANUEL‟S PUBLICATIONS | M B PRASAD M.Sc., B.Ed., M.A. Lit., | Be generously towards poor
cold i.e., they lose heat energy. The iron and wooden pieces were kept in the fridge for
the same period of time but, we feel that the metal piece colder than the wooden piece.
When you touch the metal or wooden piece, you
feel that they are cold. This means that heat energy is
being transferred from your finger to the pieces. When
you remove your finger, you don‟t get a feeling of
„coldness‟. This means that when heat energy flows out
of your body you get the feeling of „coldness‟ and when
heat energy enters your body you get a feeling of „hotness‟.
You can test this by bringing your finger near the flame of a
matchstick!
So, if you feel that the metal piece „colder‟ than
the wooden piece, it must mean that more heat energy flows out of your body when you
touch the metal piece as compared to the wooden piece. In other words, the „degree of
coldness‟ of the metal piece is greater than that of the wooden piece.
Conclusion: The conventional definition of temperature is “the degree of hotness or
coldness”. We say that the metal piece is at a lower „temperature‟ as compared to the
wooden piece when they are taken out of the fridge.
ACTIVITY: 2
How can you explain the thermal equilibrium with an activity?
Heat: Take two cups and filled one of them with hot water and another with cold water.
Now take a laboratory thermometer, observe the mercury level in it and note it in your note
book. Keep it in hot water. Observe changes in mercury level. Note the reading.
We know that bodies in contact achieve thermal equilibrium due to transfer of heat
energy. When you kept thermometer in hot water you will observe that there is raise in
mercury level. This happens because heat has transferred from hotter body (hot water)
to cold body (mercury in thermometer). Similarly in the second case you will observe
that mercury level comes down from its level because of the transfer of heat from mercury
(hotter body) to water (colder body). Thus we define heat as follows:
“Heat is a form of energy in transist that is transferred from body at higher
temperature to body at lower temperature.”
The steadiness of the mercury column of the thermometer indicates that flow of
heat, between the thermometer liquid (mercury) and water, has stopped thermal
equilibrium has been attained between the water and thermometer liquid (mercury). The
thermometer reading at thermal equilibrium state gives the “temperature”. Thus
„temperature‟ is a measure of thermal equilibrium. If two different systems, A and B in
thermal contact, are in thermal equilibrium individually with another system C (thermal
contact with A and B). We know that if A is in thermal equilibrium with C, they both have the
same temperature. Similarly, B and C have the same temperature. Thus A and B will have
the same temperature and would therefore be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
(A, B and C are in thermal contact).
The SI unit of heat is Joule (J) and CGS unit is calorie (cal).The amount of heat
required to increase the temperature of 1gram of water by 10C is called calorie.
1cal = 4.186 joules
The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K). It can also be expressed as degree
Celsius (0C). 0
0C = 273K

Add 273 to the value of temperature in degree Celsius to get the temperature in the
Kelvin scale.
Note: Temperature measured in Kelvin scale is called absolute temperature.
ACTIVITY: 3
Explain that the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to
the absolute temperature by activity.
Take two bowls one with hot water
and second with cold water. Gently
sprinkle food color on the surface of the
water in both bowls .Observe the
motion of the small grains of food color.
You will notice that the grains of
food color jiggle (move randomly). This
happens because the molecules of the
water in both bowls are in random
motion. We observe that the jiggling of
the grains of food color in hot water is
more when compared to the jiggling in
cold water. We know that bodies
possess kinetic energy when they are in the motion.
As the speed of motion particles (grain of food) in the water of both bowls is
different, we can say that they have different kinetic energies. Thus we conclude that the
average kinetic energy of molecules / particles of the hotter body are larger than that of a
colder body. So we can say that the temperature of a body is an indicator of the average
kinetic energy of molecule of that body.
“The average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the absolute
temperature”
ACTIVITY: 4
Explain an activity to show that temperature determines
direction of heat flow.
Take water in a jar and heat it to 60°C. Take a cylindrical
transparent glass jar and fill half of it with the hot water. Very
gently pour coconut oil over the surface of the water. (Take care
that the water and oil do not mix). Put a lid with two holes on
the top of the glass jar. Take two thermometers and insert them
through holes of the lid in such a way that bulb of the one
thermometer lies inside the water and other lies inside the
coconut oil as shown in the figure 1.
Now observe the readings of the two thermometers. The
reading of the thermometer kept in water decreases, while, at the
same time, the reading of the thermometer kept in oil increases.
Because the average kinetic energy of the molecules of oil increases, while the
average kinetic energy of the molecules of water decreases. In other words, the
temperature of oil increases while the temperature of water decreases.
From the above discussion it is clear that, water loses energy while oil gains
energy; because of the temperature difference between the water and oil. Thus some heat
Cell: 9505123175
12 Mc EMMANUEL‟S PUBLICATIONS | M B PRASAD M.Sc., B.Ed., M.A. Lit., | Be generously towards poor
energy flows from water to oil. This means, the kinetic energy of the molecules of the
water decreases while the kinetic energy of the molecules of oil increases.
Heat is the energy that is transferred from hotter to colder body. Temperature is a
quantity that decides which body is hotter and which is colder. So temperature decides
direction of heat (energy) flow, whereas heat is the energy itself that flow.
ACTIVITY: 5
Explain that the rate of rise in temperature depends on the nature of the substance
by an activity.
SPECIFIC HEAT: Take a large jar with water
and heat it up to 100o.Take two identical boiling
test tubes with single-holed corks and fill them, one
with 50gm of water and the other with 50gm of oil.
Insert two thermometers through holes of the corks,
one each in two test tubes. Now clamp them to a
retort stand and place them in the jar of hot water
as shown in the figure 2.
Observe the readings of thermometers every
three minutes .Note the readings in your notebook.
We believe that the same amount of heat is
supplied to water and oil because they kept in the
water of same temperature for the same interval of
time.
We observe that the rise in temperature of the oil is faster than the rise in
temperature of the water.
We conclude that the rise in temperature depends on the nature of the material.
ACTIVITY: 6
Explain on what factors the amount of heat observed by a material depends by an

Take 250 ml of water in one beaker (a small beaker) and 1 litre of water in
another beaker (a large beaker), and note down their initial temperature using a
thermometer (initial temperatures of them should be equal). Now heat both beakers till their
temperature of water in two beakers rises by 90 0C from their initial temperatures. Note down
the heating times required to rise temperature of water by 90 0C in each beaker.
You will notice that you need more time to rise temperature by 90 0C for water in
larger beaker when compared to water in small beaker that means you need to supply more
heat energy for water in larger beaker than water in small beaker for same change in
temperature.
For same change in temperature the amount of heat absorbed by a body is directly
proportional to its mass (m), i.e. Q ∞ m (when ΔT is constant) …………… (1)
Now take 1 liter of water in a beaker and heat it. Note the temperature changes (ΔT)
for every two minutes.
You will notice that the change in temperature rise with time, that means, for the
same mass (m) of water the change in temperature is proportional to amount of heat (Q)
absorbed by it. Q ∞ΔT (when „m‟ is constant) …………………. (2)
From equation (1) and (2), we get Q ∞mΔT (as Q = mSΔT )

Explain the principle of method of mixtures by an activity.
PRINCIPLE OF METHOD OF MIXTURES:
When two bodies or more bodies at different temperatures are brought into thermal
contact, then net heat is lost by the hot bodies is equal to net heat gain by the cold bodies
until they attain thermal equilibrium. (If heat is not lost by any other process)
Net heat lost= Net heat gain
This is known as principle of method of mixtures.
Take 100 ml (m1) of water at 900C and 200 ml (m2) of water at 60
0C and mix the two.
Let the initial temperatures of the samples of masses m1 and m2 be T1 and T2 (the
higher of the two temperatures is called T1, the lower is called T2). Let T be the final
temperature of the mixture.
The temperature of the mixture is lower than the temperature of the hotter sample,
but higher than the temperature of the colder sample. This means that the hot sample has
lost heat, and the cold sample has gained heat.
The amount of heat lost by the hotter sample Q1 is m1S (T1- T).
The amount of heat gained by the cooler sample, Q2, is m2S (T - T2).
Since heat lost by the first sample is equal to the heat gained by the other sample
i.e. Q1 = Q2,
Which can be written as m1S (T1 - T) = m2S(T - T2)
Which can be simplified to have the Final temperature T =
ACTIVITY: 8
Explain an activity to determine specific heat of a solid
Aim: To find the specific heat of given solid.
Apparatus: calorimeter, thermometer, stirrer, water, steam heater, wooden box and lead
shots.
Procedure: The mass of the calorimeter along with stirrer is determined by common balance
(m1). One third of the volume of the calorimeter
is filled with water and its mass is measured as
(m2) total mass of water taken is (m2- m1) The
calorimeter is placed in the wooden box and
temperature is measured using thermometer as
(T1) Lead pieces is placed in steam heater they
are heated to a temperature T2 is quickly
transferred in to calorimeter, with minimum
loss of heat. Contents in the calorimeter are stirred
well and then resultant temperature T3 is noted.
Since there is no loss of heat to surroundings, we
can assume that the entire heat lost by the solid is
transferred to the calorimeter and water to reach the final temperature. The mass of the
calorimeter along with contents (lead shots) is measured as m3.If SC, SL and SW are the
specific heats of the calorimeter, solid pieces and water respectively.

Heat lost by the solid = Heat gain by the calorimeter + Heat gain by the water
(m3- m1 ) SL(T2-T3) = m1 Sc(T3-T1)+(m2-m1) Sw(T3-T1)
Ss =
Knowing the specific heat capacities of SC and SW we can calculate the
specific heat of the lead shots.
ACTIVITY: 9
Write an activity to show that the evaporation increases with increase in speed
Take a few drops of spirit (say 1 ml) in two Petri dishes (a shallow glass or plastic
cylindrical lidded dish used in the laboratory) separately. Keep the one of the dishes
containing spirit under a ceiling fan and switch on the fan. Keep another dish with its lid
closed. Observe the quantity of spirit in both dishes after 5 minutes.
You will notice that spirit in the dish that kept under the ceiling fan disappear. Where as
you will find some spirit left in the dish that kept in lidded dish.
“The process of escaping of molecules from the surface of a liquid at any temperature is
called evaporation”
Let us see the reason for faster evaporation of spirit under the fan. If air is blown over the
liquid surface in an open pan the number of returning molecules is reduced to a large
extent. This is because any molecule escaping from the surface is blown away from the
vicinity of the liquid. This increases the rate of evaporation. This is the reason for the
spirit in Petri dish that kept under ceiling fan evaporates quickly when compared to that kept
in lidded dish. You will notice clothes dry faster when a wind is blowing.
Rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area, temperature and amount of vapour
already present in the surrounding air.
ACTIVITY: 10
Conduct an activity to show the process of condensation.
Place a glass tumbler on the table. Pour cold water up to half its height. We know that the
temperature of surrounding air is higher than the temperature of the cold water. Air
contains water molecules in the form of vapour. When the molecules of water in air,
during their motion, strike the surface of glass tumbler which is cool; then the
molecules of air lose their kinetic energy which leads to lower the temperature and they
get converted into droplets. The energy lost by the water molecule in air will be given to
the molecules of glass tumbler. Hence the average kinetic energy of the glass molecules
increases. In turn the energy is transferred from glass molecules to the water molecules in the
glass. In this way the average kinetic energy of water molecules in the tumbler rises. Hence we
can conclude that the temperature of the water in glass increases. This process is called
„condensation’. It is warming process.
Let us examine a situation:
You feel warm after you finish your bath under the shower on hot day. In the bathroom, the
number of vapour molecules per unit volume is greater than number of vapour molecules per
unit volume outside the room. When you try to dry yourself with a towel, the vapour
molecules surrounding you condense on your skin and this condensation makes you feel
warm.
ACTIVITY:11
Explain melting with an activity.
Take small ice cubes in a beaker. Insert the thermometer into ice cubes in the beaker.Observe
the reading of thermometer. Now start heating the beaker keeping on a burner. Observe

15 Mc EMMANUEL‟S PUBLICATIONS | M B PRASAD M.Sc., B.Ed., M.A. Lit., | Be generously towards poor
changes in the reading of thermometer for every 1 minute till the ice completely melts and
gets converted into water. You will observe that the temperature at beginning is below 0 0C
and it goes on changing till it reaches 00C. When ice starts melting, you will notice that
no change in temperature though you are supplying heat continuously. The heat
energy supplied to the ice increases the internal energy of the molecules of the ice. This
increase in internal energy of molecules weakens the bonds as well as breaks the bonds
between the molecules (H2O) in the ice. That is why the ice (in solid phase) becomes
water (in liquid phase).This process takes place at a constant temperature 0°C or 273K.
This temperature is called melting point. This process of converting solid into a liquid is
called“Melting”.
Consider a solid of mass m which requires heat energy Q to change from the solid
phase to liquid phase. The heat required to change 1gm of solid into liquid is Q/m.
Latent heat of fusion L = Q/m. The value of Latent heat of fusion of ice is 80cal/gm
ACTIVITY:12
Explain boiling with an activity.
Take a beaker of water keep it on the burner .Note the readings of thermometer every 2
minutes
You will notice that, the temperature of the water
rises continuously, till it reaches 100°C. At100°C
no further rise of temperature of water is seen. At
100 0C, though supply heat continues we can
observe a lot of bubbling at the surface of water at
this 100°C temperature. This is what we call
boiling of water “The process in which the liquid
phase changes to gaseous phase at a constant
temperature “. This temperature is called boiling point of the liquid. Note that
evaporation takes place at any temperature, while boiling occurs at a definite
temperature called the boiling point. When boiling process starts, the temperature of the
liquid cannot be raised, no matter how long we continue to heat it. The temperature
remains at the boiling point until all of the liquid has boiled away.
The heat energy is required to change 1gr of liquid to gas at constant temperature is
called latent heat of vaporization.
Consider a liquid of mass „m‟ requires heat energy „Q‟ calories to change from its state
liquid phase to gas phase. Then Latent heat of vaporization is Q/m. Latent heat of
vaporization is denoted by „L‟. CGS unit and SI unit of latent heat of vaporization is cal/gm
and J/kg respectively.
The boiling point of water at constant atmospheric pressure (1atm) is 100°C or 373K and
Latent heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/gm.
ACTIVITY: 13
Explain expansion of water on freezing by
activity.
Take small glass bottle with a tight lid .Fill it with
water completely without any gaps and fix the lid
tightly in such a way that water should not come
out of it. Put the bottle into the deep freezer for a few
hours. Take it out from the fridge and you will
observe the glass bottle break.
Cell: 9505123175
16 Mc EMMANUEL‟S PUBLICATIONS | M B PRASAD M.Sc., B.Ed., M.A. Lit., | Be generously towards poor
We know that the volume of the water poured into the glass
bottle is equal to the volume of the bottle. When the water freezes to
ice, the bottle is broken .This means that the volume of the ice
should be greater than the volume of the water filled in bottle. In
short, we say that water „expands‟ (increases in volume) on freezing!
Thus the density of ice is less than that of water and this explains
why ice floats on water.
WATER EXPANSION EXPERIMENT
NATURAL CONSEQUENCES OF ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF WATER:
1. Water pipe lines often burst in cold countries or on the high hill stations in winter,
because water freezes at sub zero temperature and in doing so expands. Since there
is no space within the pipes for expanding ice, it exerts tremendous pressure and
bursts open the steel pipes.
It is for same reason that people in cold countries leave their taps dropping at night
so as to provide sufficient space for expansion of freezing water.
2. Vegetables, fruits and plants get damaged in severe cold because the water present
in the plant cells on freezing expands and bursts open the cell wall.
3. Frost bite is basically caused for the same reason, because the water in the cells of
human beings (especially in the exposed parts) freezes and in doing so burst open
the cells.
4. In cold countries, as the temperature of air falls below 00C, the water bodies ( like
ponds, rivers and sea) freezes from the top to form ice, whereas the water below
stays at 40C.
Thus, fish and other aquatic life can easily survive in frozen water bodies, as water
below stays at 40C.

APPLICATIONS OF SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:
1. The sun delivers a large amount of energy to the Earth daily. The water masses
on Earth, particularly the oceans, absorb this energy for maintaining a relatively constant
temperature. The oceans behave like heat “store houses” for the earth. They can absorb large
amounts of heat at the equator without much rise in temperature due to high specific heat
capacity of water.. Therefore, oceans moderate the surrounding temperature near the
equator. Ocean water transports the heat away from the equator to areas closer to the north
and south poles. This transported heat helps moderate the climates in parts of the Earth that
are far from the equator.
2. Water melon brought out from the refrigerator retains its coolness for a longer time than
any other fruit because it contains large percentage of water. (Water has greater specific
heat).
3. The samosa seems to be cool but it is hot when we eat it because the curry inside
samosa contains ingredients with higher specific heats.

RELATION BETWEEN CELCIUS AND FAHRENHEIT SCALES:
As the length between the two standard points is same, we can say that 100 degrees

human body does not fall below 950F or rise above 110

2. Normal temperature is nearly 98.40F
3. The markings are from 350C to 43

4. Normal temperature is nearly 370C on Celsius scale.
Note: High boiling point of mercury is (3570C) and low melting point is (-39

KELVIN SCALE (ABSOLUTE SCALE) OF TEMPERATURE OR SI SCALE OF
TEMPERATURE:
1. We have already defined temperature as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a
substance. From this, it implies that if the molecules cease to have any kinetic energy,
then the temperature of substance should be zero in absolute terms.
2. This lowest limit of temperature is called absolute zero by Lord Kelvin.
3. This absolute zero is also called as zero Kelvin or Kelvin zero
Kelvin zero (Zero Kelvin): the lowest temperature at which the molecular movement of matter
ceases is called Kelvin zero or zero Kelvin. Its magnitude on Celsius scale is -2730C.
Temp in Kelvin = 273 + tem in 0C
( T ) K = 273 + (t) in 0C
1K (rise or fall) = 10C (rise or fall)
CALORIMETRY:
Calorimetry is a branch of physics which deals with the measurement of heat energy is
called calorimetry.
CGS Unit of heat energy is calorie
Cell: 9505123175
19 Mc EMMANUEL‟S PUBLICATIONS | M B PRASAD M.Sc., B.Ed., M.A. Lit., | Be generously towards poor
Calorie: The quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of pure water
through 10C is called one calorie. It is too small unit thus a bigger unit was coined and is called
kilocalorie.
Kilocalorie: The quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kg of pure
water through 10C is called one kilocalorie.
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories.
Kilocalorie is some times called Big calorie or Doctor‟s calorie or Calorie (with capital C)
SI Unit of heat energy is Joule
1calorie = 4.186J = 4.2 J (approx)
1kilocalorie = 4186 J = 4200J (approx).
HEAT CAPACITY OR THERMAL CAPACITY (C‟):
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a
substance through 10C is called heat capacity or thermal capacity of that substance.
Heat required to raise the temp of given mass of substance through ө0C = H (J)
10C =
H, ( 1
0C = 1K)
SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance
through 10C or 1K is called specific heat capacity
In CGS system unit of specific heat capacity is or cal g-1o

In SI system unit of energy of specific heat capacity

PRINCIPLE OF CALORIMETRY:
It based on the law of conservation energy
which states “The energy in a system can neither be
created nor can it be destroyed and the sum total of
energy is a constant quantity”.
If no heat is lost to surroundings, then
“Heat energy given out by hot body
= Heat energy absorbed by cold body”
i.e., m1 c1 (ө1- ө) = m2 c2 (ө- ө2) (Here ө1 , and ө are temperatures.)
EVERY DAY USE OF HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY OF WATER:
1. Fomentation is heating the swollen parts of body at a moderate temp of about 500C, as it
brings a lot of relief. We use hot water bottle for fomentation purpose, because water can
store in it large amount of heat energy at a fairly low tem, owing to its high specific heat
capacity.
2. Water is used as coolant in the car radiators, as it can absorb large amount of heat energy
from the engine of a car, but it does not rise to very high temperature. It is for the same
reason that the water is used as coolant in thermal power stations, etc.
3. In a way, all animal and plant life, is possible only due to the high specific heat capacity
of water. This is one of the reasons that all living beings have from 70% to 90% water in
their bodies, which in turn helps in regulating their body temperature.
4. When the weather forecast is frost, the wise farmer always waters his fields in the
evening. It is because water has highest specific heat capacity. Thus every 1g of water
liberates 4.2J of heat energy, when its temp falls by 10C.Thus cooling water liberates
large amount of heat energy, which does not allow the temp of the field to fall below 00C.
Hence the crops are saved from the ill effects of the frost.
CHANGE OF STATE:
Cell: 9505123175
20 Mc EMMANUEL‟S PUBLICATIONS | M B PRASAD M.Sc., B.Ed., M.A. Lit., | Be generously towards poor
Change of state takes place, when the heat energy is supplied to a solid its temp raises, till
a stage comes when it starts melting. Similarly, when the heat energy is supplied to a liquid its
temperature rises, till a stage comes, when it starts (boiling) changing into its vapors.
Melting or Fusion: The constant temperature at which, a solid changes its state into liquid. This
phenomenon is called meting or fusion. And the constant temperature is called melting point or
fusion point.
Freezing point or Solidification point: The constant temperature at which a liquid changes its
state into solid state is called freezing or solidification. And the constant temperature is called
freezing point or solidification point.
Note: Numerical value of melting point and solidification point is same.
e.g., if the melting point of ice is 00C, then freezing point of water is also 0
0C
Boiling or Vaporization: The constant temperature at which a liquid changes its state into its
vapor. This phenomenon is called boiling or vaporization. And the constant temperature is
called boiling point or ebullition point.
Liquefaction: The constant temperature at which a gas changes its state into its liquid state is
called liquefaction. And the constant temperature is called liquefaction point.
Note: Numerical value of boiling point and the liquefaction point is same.
e.g., if boiling point of water is 1000C, then liquefaction point of steam is also 100
0C.
LATENT HEAT OF FUSION: The heat energy supplied to the solid so as to change it into the
liquid state, without any rise in temperature is called latent heat of fusion.
SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT OF FUSION: Amount of heat energy required to melt one
kilogram of solid (one gram of solid in CGS system) at its melting point, without rise in
temperature is called specific latent heat of fusion.
In SI system, Ice has the highest specific latent heat of fusion. Its value is 336000Jkg-1
.
e.g., if 1 kg of ice on melting requires, 336000 J of heat energy, then 1 kg of water at 00C will
liberate 336000 J of heat energy before changing to ice at 00C.
In CGS system, Ice has the specific latent heat of fusion. Its value is 336Jkg-1
.
In old system, Ice has the specific latent heat of fusion. Its value is 80 cal g-1
.
EXPRESSION FOR LATENT HEAT OF FUSION OF SOLID:
Consider a solid, having specific latent heat of fusion „L‟ J kg-1
.
Let „m‟ be the mass of solid.
Thus, heat absorbed or given out during fusion or solidification Q = mL Joules.
SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT OF VAPOURISATION: All the heat energy supplied is utilized
in increasing intermolecular spaces and is stored in the molecules of vapor in the form of
potential energy. This stored energy by the molecules of a vapor is called latent heat capacity.
“It is the amount of heat energy required to change unit mass of a liquid at its boiling
point into its gaseous state without any rise in temperature”.
Its unit in SI system is J/kg or J kg-1
.
Its unit in CGS system is J/g or J g-1
.
SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT OF VAPOURISATION OF STEAM: It is the amount of heat
energy required to change unit mass, say 1kg or 1g of water at 1000C into steam at 100
0C.
Its value is 2260J/g in CGS system or 226X104J/kg in SI system or 540cal/g in old system.
ADVENTAGES OF HIGH SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT OF VAPOURISATION:
1. It is on account of this high specific latent heat of vaporization of water that water from
the soil does not evaporate quickly by the heat of sun, thus, plants are protected from
wilting in excessive heat.
2. As enormous amount of heat energy is required to vaporize one kg of water, therefore,
water from various water bodies evaporate slowly. Thus there is controlled evaporation
and hence condensation. In other words, the rainfall all over the world is fairly regulated,
which is conducive for plants and animal life.
3. The thermal stations use steam as a medium for converting the heat energy of coal to
electric energy, because every gram of steam can carry 2260J of hest energy.

4. Burns caused by the steam (scalding) are far more severe than those caused by boiling
water. It is because. Every gram of steam at 1000 C contains 2260J of heat energy more
than water at 1000C. It is this excessive energy which causes sever scalding.
