HEAT HEAT
In summer, we instal fans, air-conditioners in our homes to keep ourselves comfortable. Our bodies are
highly sensitive to our surrounding climate. So, we wear clothes depending upon seasons. Why ? Just think
about these ::
1. What is energy ? Where does it come from ?
2. Why do we need this thing we call energy ?
3. What happens to energy after it is used ?
4. What is heat ? Where does it come from ?
5. What is hot and cold ?
6. How does heating and cooling work ?
7. How do we measure heat and energy ?
To answer these questions let us first understand what the matter is and what it is made up of.

PHYSICS:HEATandTHERMOYNAMICS
At the atomic level, let us understand what an atom is made up of :

What is energy ? Where does it come from ?
A quark is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. As far as we know,
quarks are indivisible; i.e., quarks are the smallest unit matter in the nucleus. Our current understanding
is that the quark is a point-like particle with no spatial extent! Quarks have various intrinsic properties,
including electric charge, color charge, spin, and mass. Quarks are the only elementary particles in the
Standard Model of particle physics to experience all four fundamental interactions, also known as
fundamental forces (electromagnetism, gravitation, strong interaction, and weak interaction), as well as
the only known particles whose electric charges are not integer multiples of the elementary charge.
Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are
protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. There are six types of quarks, known as flavors:
up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Up and down quarks have the lowest masses of all quarks.
The heavier quarks rapidly change into up and down quarks through a process of particle decay: the
transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state. Because of this, up and down quarks are
generally stable and the most common in the universe, whereas charm, strange, top, and bottom quarks
can only be produced in high energy collisions (such as those involving cosmic rays and in particle
accelerators).

Hence these quarks are the carriers of an intrinsic mechanical property known as ENERGY
As quarks are the constituents of the nucleons, nucleons do possess this. So, an atom has an inherent
energy stored in it. Molecules are made up of atoms and substances are made from molecules. Hence all
substances in the universe have this inherent Internal Energy. This is called Potential Energy.
Now atoms do contain electrons moving around the nucleus in some specified paths called Orbits.
Hence the energy possessed by these electrons in motion is called Kinetic Energy. There are three types of
kinetic energy.
(i) If the KE is associated with the movement of a particle from one location to another location,
this is translational KE.
(ii) If the KE possessed by a particle that oscillates or vibrates about a fixed point, it is called
vibrational KE.
(iii) If the KE possessed by a particle that rotates about an imaginary axis of rotation, it is called
rotaional KE.
Thermal energy is the total energy of the translational, vibrational and rotational energies of all the
individual molecules of which the object is made up of.

What is heat ? Where does it come from ?
As studied in the earlier topic, every substance has a certain internal energy. If some of that
internal energy is transferred to the random motions of the particles in another object, then you can say
that a transfer has heat has occured.
Heat is a measure of how many atoms there are in a substance multiplied by how much energy
each atom possess. When we say that a body is heated, then its
(i) thermal energy increases
(ii) molecules begin to move violently, hence, thermal vibrational energy increases
(iii) rate of collision between neighbouring molecules increases
(iv) inter-atomic seperation increases, thus thermal expansion takes place.
Hence this measurable manifestation of the thermal energy due to the average K.E of all the
particles within a sample of matter is called TEMPERATURE. It is related to how fast the atoms within
a substance are moving. It is the degree of hotness ( atoms moving faster ) and coldness (atoms moving slower )
of a body.

Definition of Heat : Heat is energy in transit which is transferred from one body to the other, due to
difference in temperature, without any mechanical work involved.

HEAT TEMPERATURE
It is a form of thermal energy and measures the
total energy of all the molecules in an object.
It is a measure of average KE of molecules in
an object. It is the degree of hotness or

Expansion due to increase in temperature is called Thermal Expansion.
At any temperature the atoms of solid are vibrating . Figure represents potential energy for two adjecent atoms
in a solid as a function of their internuclear separation r. When temperature is increased vibrational energy of
atoms increases. Because the curve is asymmetric, the average separation (r

When two bodies (one being solid and other liquid or both being liquid) at different temperature are mixed,
heat will be transferred from body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature till both acquire

calorimeter. As a result heat is exchanged between the objects as well as with the calorimeter. Neglecting any
heat exchange with the surroundings,
The method is similar to that for determining the specific heat of the solid. In this case, the calorimeter is half
filled with a liquid of unknown specific heat and a solid of known specific heat, which is insoluble in the liquid

17. 17. IDEAL GAS IDEAL GAS
Any gas which obey gas law is called ideal gas, where R = universal gas constant and its value is equal to
8.31 J/mol K. An ideal gas is a simple theoretical model of a gas. No real gas is truly ideal. Real gas
approaches the ideal gas behavior for low pressures and hight temperatures.
18. 18. KINETIC THEORY OF GASES KINETIC THEORY OF GASES
(A) Gases are made-up of tiny particles, consisting of molecules, atoms or even ions (sometimes) which
retain the chemical properties of the sample of which they are composed.
The kinetic theory of gases develops a model of the molecular behavior which should result in the
observed behavior of an ideal gas.
Assumptions
(i) Molecules (Whose size is extermely small in comparision to the separation between them) are moving
randomly in all direction.
(ii) Molecules exert no appreciable force on one another or on the walls of the container except during
collision.
(iii) All collisions between the molecules of with the wall of the container are perfectly elastic.
(iv) The duration of a collision is negligible in comparsion to the time spend by a molecue between collisions.
(v) The molecules obey Newtons Laws of motion.
The assumptions of kinetic theory are close to the situation at low densities.

(i) Calculate the average kinetic energy of translation of the molecules of an ideal gas at 0C and at
100C.
(ii) Also calculate the crossesponding energies per mole of the gas.
Solution: (i) According to the kinetic theory, the average kinetic energyo f translationper molecule
of an ideal gas at Kelvin temperature T is (3/2) kT, where kis Boltzmanns constant.
At 0C (T = 273 K)
The kinetic energy of translation = 3/2 kT
= (3/2) (1.38 10

J/molecule
At 100C (T = 373 K),
(ii) 1 mole of gas contains N (=6.02 10

) molecules.
Therefore, at 0C, the kinetic energy of translation of 1 mole of the gas
= (5.65 10
21
) (6.02 10

)

3401 J/mole
And at 100C, the kinetic energy of translation of 1 mole of gas
= (7.72 10

4647 J/mole.

Whenever mechanical work is transformed into heat or heat into mechanical work, there is a constant ratio
between the work and the amount of heat. This ratio is called mechanical equivalent of heat and is denoted by
