Unit 6: Thermodynamics
Topic 6.1 Endothermic and Exothermic Processes
Topic 6.2 Energy Diagrams
Topic 6.3 Heat Transfer and Thermal Equilibrium
Here is a simulation that depicts a model of energy transfer between a collection of liquid particles at high temperature and a collection of particles in the solid phase at a low temperature. The simulation was developed by The Concord Consortium.
Here is a simulation that depicts a model of energy transfer among a collection of particles in the gas phase. The simulation was developed by The Concord Consortium.
Topic 6.4 Heat Capacity and Calorimetry
Here is an introduction to heat, mass and change in temperature PowerPoint. This PowerPoint is associated with a student activity That consists of a series of questions to help students connect relationships between heat, mass and change in temperature.The result of the activity, along with some discussion invents q (heat) = mass * specific heat ° delta T.
Calorimetry Simulation This simulation was developed by Pearson Publishing with the assistance of Dr. John Gelder (Oklahoma State University), Dr. Micheal Abraham (University of Oklahoma) and Dr. Tom Greenbowe (University of Oregon) can be used to construct many calorimetry experiments. These experiments include; mixing hot and cold water, mixing hot metal in water, dissolution of an ionic solid in water, and neutralization reactions between acids and bases.
Here is an Heat Transfer activity that uses the simulation to determine the specific heat of some unknown metals.
Here is an activity that uses the Calorimetry simulation to explore the dissolution of NaOH(s) in water.
