 Heat
Energy that flows from something warm to
something cooler
A hotter substance gives KE to a cooler
one
When heat is transferred (lost or gained),
there is a change in the energy within the
substance

 Learning Check H1

A. When you touch ice, heat is transferred

from
1) your hand to the ice
2) the ice to your hand

B. When you drink a hot cup of coffee, heat

is transferred from
1) your mouth to the coffee
2) the coffee to your mouth

 Learning Check H2
When you heat 200 g of water for 1 minute, the
water temperature rises from 10C to 18C.

400 g
200 g

If you heat 400 g of water at 10C in the same

pan with the same amount of heat for 1
minute, what would you expect the final
temperature to be?
1) 10 C 2) 14C 3) 18C

 Solution H2
2)14C

Heating twice the mass of water using the

same amount of heat will raise the
temperature only half as much.

 Some Equalities for Heat

Heat is measured in calories or joules

1 kcal = 1000 cal

1 calorie = 4.18J
1 kJ = 1000 J

 Specific Heat

Why do some foods stay hot longer than

others?
Why is the beach sand hot, but the water is
cool on the same hot day?

LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 8
 Specific Heat

Different substances have different

capacities for storing energy
It may take 20 minutes to heat water to
75C. However, the same mass of
aluminum might require 5 minutes and
the same amount of copper may take
only 2 minutes to reach the same
temperature.

 Learning Check H3

A. A substance with a large specific heat

1) heats up quickly 2) heats up slowly
B. When ocean water cools, the surrounding air
1) cools 2) warms 3) stays the same
C. Sand in the desert is hot in the day, and cool
at night. Sand must have a
1) high specific heat 2) low specific heat

 Heat Calculations

A hot-water bottle contains 750 g of water at

65C. If the water cools to body temperature
(37C), how many calories of heat could be
transferred to sore muscles?

heat = g x T x Sp. Ht. (H2O)

750 g x 28C x 1.00 cal
gC
= 21 000LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 15
 Learning Check H4

How many kcal are needed to raise the

temperature of 120 g of water from 15C
to 75C?
1) 1.8 kcal
2) 7.2 kcal
3) 9.0 kcal

LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 16
 Solution H4

How many kcal are needed to raise the

temperature of 120 g of water from 15C to
75C?
2) 7.2 kcal
120 g x (75C - 15C) x 1.00 cal x 1 kcal
gC 1000 cal

 Energy and Nutrition

1 Calorie (nutritional) = 1 kcal

1 Cal = 1000 cal

Caloric Food Values

Carbohydrate = 4 kcal/g
Fat = 9 kcal/g
Protein = 4 kcal/g

 Learning Check H5

1.0 cup of whole milk contains 12 g of

carbohydrate, 9.0 g of fat, and 9.0 g of
protein. How many kcal (Cal) are
obtained?
1) 48 kcal
2) 81 kcal
3) 165 kcal

LecturePLUS Timberlake 99 21
 Solution H5

3) 165 kcal
12 g carbo x 4 kcal/g = 48 kcal
9.0 g fat x 9 kcal/g = 81 kcal
9.0 g protein x 4 kcal/g = 36 kcal
Total kcal = 165 kcal
