Q & A
What is a heating curve and how does it relate to the temperature changes of a substance?
-A heating curve is a graphical representation that shows the changes in temperature of a substance over time when heat is added. It starts with the substance in a solid phase, and as heat is added, the temperature increases until a phase change occurs, such as melting or boiling, where the temperature remains constant despite continued heat absorption.
How does the temperature change during the phase change in a heating curve?
-During a phase change on a heating curve, such as melting or boiling, the temperature of the substance remains constant even though heat is being absorbed. This is because the absorbed energy is used to change the state of the substance rather than to increase its kinetic energy.
What is the significance of a horizontal line on a heating curve?
-A horizontal line on a heating curve indicates a phase change where the substance is transitioning from one state to another, such as from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas. During this phase change, the temperature stays constant despite heat being absorbed.
What happens to the kinetic energy of particles when a substance is heated and its temperature increases?
-When a substance is heated and its temperature increases, the kinetic energy of its particles also increases. This is because the added heat energy increases the average kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to move faster.
How does the potential energy of a substance change during a phase change on a heating curve?
-During a phase change on a heating curve, the potential energy of a substance increases. This is because the absorbed heat energy is used to overcome the intermolecular forces, allowing the particles to move further apart and change states.
What is the relationship between heat absorption and temperature increase on an incline part of a heating curve?
-On an incline part of a heating curve, heat absorption leads to an increase in temperature. This is because the absorbed heat energy increases the kinetic energy of the particles, which in turn raises the average kinetic energy and thus the temperature of the substance.
Can you explain the concept of a cooling curve and how it differs from a heating curve?
-A cooling curve is the reverse of a heating curve. It represents the temperature changes of a substance over time when heat is removed. It starts with the substance in a gaseous state and ends in a solid state, with phase changes occurring at specific temperatures where the substance changes from gas to liquid and then from liquid to solid.
What does a horizontal line on a cooling curve signify?
-A horizontal line on a cooling curve signifies a phase change where the substance is transitioning from one state to another, such as from gas to liquid or from liquid to solid. During this phase change, the temperature remains constant despite heat being released.
How does the kinetic energy of particles change during the cooling process depicted on a cooling curve?
-During the cooling process on a cooling curve, the kinetic energy of the particles decreases as the substance loses heat. This results in a decrease in the average kinetic energy and thus a decrease in temperature.
What is the role of potential energy in the phase changes observed on a cooling curve?
-On a cooling curve, the potential energy of a substance decreases during phase changes. As heat is released and the substance transitions from one state to another, the particles move closer together, and the intermolecular forces become stronger, which is reflected in the decrease of potential energy.
How can one interpret the incline and horizontal parts of a cooling curve in terms of energy changes?
-On a cooling curve, incline parts indicate a change in kinetic energy and thus a change in temperature as the substance cools down in a single phase. Horizontal parts indicate phase changes where the kinetic energy remains constant, but the potential energy changes due to the particles moving closer together.
Outlines
đ„ Understanding the Heating Curve
This paragraph explains the concept of a heating curve, which illustrates the temperature changes of a substance over time as heat is added. Starting with a solid, the substance absorbs heat, causing its temperature to rise until it reaches a phase change, such as melting. During this phase change, the temperature remains constant despite continued heat absorption, as the energy is used to overcome intermolecular forces rather than increase kinetic energy. The process continues through the liquid phase until another phase change occurs, such as boiling, where the substance becomes a gas. The graph shows inclined sections where temperature increases due to increased kinetic energy and flat sections where potential energy changes during phase transitions.
đĄïž Kinetic and Potential Energy in Phase Changes
This section delves deeper into the role of kinetic and potential energy during the heating process. In the inclined parts of the heating curve, kinetic energy increases as temperature rises, reflecting the faster movement of particles. Conversely, during the flat sections, kinetic energy remains constant as the substance undergoes a phase change, and the absorbed heat energy is used to increase potential energy, facilitating the change in state. The paragraph emphasizes that while heat is continuously absorbed, it does not always translate to a rise in temperature due to the energy being used for phase transitions rather than increasing kinetic energy.
đ§ The Cooling Curve and Its Dynamics
The final paragraph contrasts the heating curve with the cooling curve, which is essentially the reverse process. It starts with a gas and removes heat, leading to a decrease in temperature and eventually condensation into a liquid. As heat continues to be released, the substance cools further, potentially freezing into a solid. The cooling curve mirrors the heating curve with inclined sections representing changes in kinetic energy and flat sections indicating phase changes where potential energy decreases. The paragraph concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe for more educational content, highlighting the importance of understanding how to interpret and utilize these curves in chemistry and physics.

Highlights
The heating curve illustrates the temperature changes of a substance during heating, starting from the solid phase.
Heat absorbed is plotted on the y-axis, with time on the x-axis, as the substance's temperature changes over time.
A substance begins as a cold solid, and as heat is added, it becomes a hot solid before melting.
During the phase change, the graph is flat, indicating no temperature change despite heat absorption.
The phase change from solid to liquid is called melting, where both phases coexist.
After melting, the substance's temperature increases again as it transitions from a liquid to a gas during boiling.
The cooling curve is the reverse of the heating curve, starting with a gas and ending with a solid.
In the cooling curve, heat is released, and the substance transitions from gas to liquid during condensation.
The temperature decreases as heat is released, moving from a hot liquid to a cold one.
The substance reaches its freezing point and transitions from liquid to solid, represented by a flat line on the graph.
During the inclined parts of the graph, kinetic energy increases, which corresponds to a rise in temperature.
In the flat parts of the graph, kinetic energy remains constant, but potential energy changes as the substance undergoes a phase change.
Heat energy absorbed during phase changes is used to overcome intermolecular forces, facilitating the change in state.
The cooling curve demonstrates the decrease in kinetic energy and temperature as the substance cools from a gas to a solid.
Understanding the heating and cooling curves is crucial for grasping the energy changes and phase transitions of substances.
The video provides a comprehensive explanation of how to interpret and draw heating and cooling curves.
The importance of correctly labeling axes and units when drawing these curves is emphasized for accuracy.
Transcripts
let's discuss the differences between
the heating curve and the cooling curve
the heating curve of a substance shows
the changes in temperature of the
substance during a time period when
heating occurs so we are adding heat or
energy to a substance in this curve
we're starting out at the solid phase
we're adding heat we're adding energy
and we are recording the temperature
change over time so this axis over here
below is heat absorbed or time because
as time goes on heat is being absorbed
and we are measuring temperature if we
ever ask you to draw the curve or draw
the graph it's important to remember
your heading your axis labels and units
right so let's take a look at how the
heating curve what substance X looks
like okay so we're going to start off
with the substance in its solid phase it
doesn't matter what the substance is
we're calling it substance X and we're
starting off by measuring the
temperature of the solid and what we do
is we add heat or energy to the
substance it is heating that solid up so
it starts off as a cold solid and then
it gets warmer warmer warmer very very
hot solid and then as you should know so
if I start with an ice block for example
if we pretend that this is water that
we're dealing with which it's not um but
let's just pretend then eventually if we
have a solid ice block and we add heat
to it eventually that solid is going to
melt it will go through a phase change
which is called melting so the next part
of the graph will look as follows can
you see that the graph is now flat it's
horizontal when it's flat or horizontal
like this the substance is going through
a phase change it is changing its state
it's going from a solid it was a solid
in this initial inclined phase over here
and it's changing it's busy changing
into a liquid so when you see a flat
part of the graph now you know that that
is a phase change it corresponds to a
phase change and the states that are
present during the phase change would be
both solid and liquid phase the solid
and the liquid phase are both present at
the same time because the substance
doesn't change instantaneously into a
liquid it takes place over a period of
time this is the phase change over here
it is called melting so the the solid is
melting and turning into a liquid and
we'll discuss the energy changes that
takes place in these various parts of
the graph afterwards but then what we're
going to do is we're going to continue
now it's melted completely and obviously
after it's melted it's completely formed
a liquid it's in its liquid phase and
the liquid phase of the graph will look
something like this notice how when it
is in a singular state so either just a
solid or just a liquid or just a gas
we've got an inclined line going over
here temperature is increasing so at
this point over here we've got a colder
liquid then we carry on adding heat heat
is being absorbed we get a warmer liquid
and then we get a hot liquid and as you
should know eventually when we've added
enough heat energy to a liquid it will
reach its boiling point boiling or
evaporation will occur another phase
change and remember what we said about
base changes the graph will be
horizontal so this is when boiling or
evaporation is occurring the substance
is changing from a liquid to a gas so
both liquid and gas phases are present
at this stage liquid and gas then after
it has gone through its pH change it
becomes just totally a gas and we can
continue heating that gas up so we get a
cold gas a warmer gas and a hot gas okay
so this was boiling or evaporation so a
few important things to note about the
graph is we are continuously adding heat
energy if you look at this axis over
here time is going on heat is being
absorbed continuously by the substance
however just because heat is being
absorbed does not mean temperature is
always increasing when we think of heat
absorbed you need to think of energy so
energy is always being taken up by my
substance my substance whatever it is is
always absorbing that energy it's always
absorbing that heat however only at
certain points in time is the
temperature of the substance actually
increasing so it increases here when
it's in a solid phase then temperature
stays constant then temperature
increases again when it's in its liquid
phase and then temperature stays
constant and then temperature increases
again when it's in its gaseous phase now
why is this
happening what happens is when a
substance is in one phase like just a
solid or liquid or gas when we add heat
to it what happens over here is the
kinetic energy the kinetic energy of the
substance is busy increasing and as you
should know if I increase kinetic energy
I'm increasing average kinetic energy
and that is a measure of the temperature
of a substance the temperature of a
substance is determined by the
substance's average kinetic energy the
particles begin moving faster and faster
as the temperature
increases however the substance is still
in one phase it's still just in the
solid phase here initially so nothing is
happening to the potential energy okay
the particles aren't moving further
apart from each other there isn't a
phase change taking place and that is
the case so kinetic energy increasing
which causes temperature to increase
that happens in all of the inclined
parts of the graph so kinetic energy
increases average kinetic energy of the
particles increase and that is why the
temperature increases so the heat energy
that I'm adding the heat that is being
absorbed for the incline part of the
graph it is causing this change to
happen however when we reach the flat
parts of the graph such as this part
over here and this part over here
we are still absorbing heat energy so
heat energy is still being absorbed for
this time period however it's not
causing the kinetic energy of the
particles to increase so the kinetic
energy stays the same it doesn't change
kinetic energy stays the same therefore
average kinetic energy stays the same
which means the temperature doesn't
increase and you can see that if you
read temperature of the graph for this
entire time period the temperature stays
constant let's and it's 30° or whatever
it is it stays 30° C from here all the
way to here but we added heat energy so
something must happen and the thing that
happens is that potential energy now
increases and what that does is it
allows the substance's intermolecular
forces to be overcome the intermolecular
forces are the forces that exist between
the particles so we absorb heat energy
we overcome the intermolecular forces we
weak them it allows the particles to
move further apart and that causes the
phase change so it's basically like that
heat energy is not actually going
towards increasing the temperature it's
not going towards increasing the kinetic
energy rather it's going to increasing
the potential energy causing a phase
change so only one of the two energies
will change at one time here's another
visual representation of a heating curve
and here is an explanation about what
happens on the incline parts of the
graph as we mentioned we're changing the
average kinetic energy which is
increasing the temperature and here's an
explanation of what happens on the flat
parts of the graph no kinetic energy is
changing temperature doesn't change but
there's a phase change and the potential
energy will change the cooling curve is
essentially the opposite of the heating
curve so you obviously need to watch the
video on the heating curve first in
order to understand the cooling curve
but it's basically the reverse so so
think of the heating curve as we start
with the solid we add heat we end up
with the gas the cooling curve we start
with the gas we remove heat or heat is
released to the environment start with
the gas end with the solid so this is
basically how the cooling curve would
look yeah we start off with gas at a
certain temperature heat is being
released to the environment we're
cooling the gas heat is being removed
eventually we're going to condense that
gas into a liquid liid it's going to go
from gas phase to liquid phase there we
go so at this temperature over here
whatever that temperature is on the
graph that will be the temperature at
which condensation occurs so
condensation is our phase change we go
from gas to liquid then we've got our
liquid phase and we start off with what
we can call a hot liquid and then as
heat is released as time goes on
remember this axis is time time is
passing heat is being released to the
environment or we're removing Heats and
the temperature of the liquid decreases
so hot liquid warm liquid cold liquid
eventually if we cool down that liquid
enough if enough heat is released it'll
re it'll reach its freezing point think
about when we put water in a tray in our
freezer and the water the liquid water
eventually turns into ice cubes so this
temperature over here whatever that is
when we read that off that temperature
would be the freezing point of my
substance X then remember when phase
changes are occurring we have both
phases present then after our phase
Chang has happened we've gone from
liquid to solid our graph ends up
looking like that so hot solid warm
solid cold cold colder solid colder
solid and just like with our heating
curve when we have an incline part of
the graph kinetic energy is changing
average kinetic energy of the particles
are changing the particles are slowing
down in this case that's why kinetic
energy is changing and therefore
temperature decreases so that's all the
incline Parts when there's a single
phase the horizontal Parts over here
kinetic energy is constant but potential
energy is decreasing the particles are
moving closer together phase changes are
happening and the intermolecular forces
are actually getting a bit stronger and
here is another representation of a
cooling curve and remember you need to
know how to interpret the curve how to
draw it also you need to need you need
to know how to read values off of the
curves I hope this video has been
