CALORIMETRY AND
CHANGE OF STATE
1. INTRODUCTION
(i) Calorie
It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm water by 1C
(ii) International calorie
International caloire is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm water from
14.5 C to 15.5 C rise of temperature.
(iii) Ki lo Caloi re
Kilo calorie is defined as the amount of heat taken by 1 kg water from 14.5 C to 15.5 C. 1 K. cal =1000 calorie.
(iv) Bri tish thermal unit (B. T. U.)
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound water by 1F.
1 B.T.U. =252 calorie.
(v) Relation between Heat and work
Whenever work is done an equivalent amount of heat is always produced.
i.e. W H or W =J H where J =Mechanical equivalent of heat
1 Calorie =4.18 joule, 1 Kilo caloire =4.18 10
3
J oule if H =1 cal, then W =J
Hence, mechanical equivalent of heat is the work in producing 1 cal of heat
2. HEAT
Experiments show that when a body is heated, then the heat given to a body depends upon the mass of
the body m, specific heat s, and temperature difference At.
3. SPECIFIC HEAT
This is called Heat inertia of a substance.
Definitaion : The amount of heat needed for an unit increase in the temperature of unit mass of a (substance
solid, liquid or gas) is called its specific heat
Unit : kilocalorie/kg-C or calorie/g-C
1 Kcal/kg-C =1 cal/g-C
If mass of the body is m and specific heat is s then amount of heat needed to increase its temperature
by dT is given by Q =msAT
3.1 Specific heat of solid & Li quid (s) : If a solid or a liquid is heated till the change of the state, there is
no change in their volume hence the work done is zero. Hence there is only one specific heat of solids and
liquids which is constant.
Specific heat of water =1kcal/kg-C =1cal/g-C =4.18 10
3
J /kg-C
Kelvin can also be used instead of C is size of both units is same.
3.2 Specifi c heat of gas (c)
(i) There are many processes possible to give heat to a gas. A speicific heat can be associated to each such
process which depends on the nature of process.
(ii) The number of possible specific heats for a gas is infinite and the value of specific heats can very from zero
(0) to infinity ()

(iii) Generally two types of specific heat are mentioned for a gas -
(a) specific heat at constant volume (C
v
)
(b) specific heat at constant pressure (c
p
)
(iv) These specific heats can be molor or gram, depending on the amount of gas considered to define it
4. THERMAL CAPACITY OR HEAT CAPACITY
Amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance (any amount) by 1C is called thermal
capacity of that substance.
Thermal capacity =(mass of body) (specific heat) H
c
=ms
Unit =calorie/C or Kcal/C
Example based on thermal capacity
Ex.1 The ratio of radii of two copper spheres is 2 : 1 and they are kept at same temperature. The ratio of their
heat capacities will be -
(1) 2 : 1 (2) 1 : 1 (3) 8 : 1 (4) 4 : 1

5. WATER EQUIVALENT OF A BODY
If m gram of a substance is given Q amount of heat which rises its temperature by AT. Now if on giving same
amount of heat temperature of w gram of water is also increased by AT then w is called water equivalent of
body of mass m.
The value of water equivalent of a body is same as its heat capacity. The difference in only in units. e.g.
If heat capacity of a body is m caloire/C then its water equivalent will be m gram.
Physical meaning : The same amount of heat gas to be given to a body for increasing its temperature by
dT as needed for quantity of water equal to its water equivalent by same temperature range.
6. LATENT HEAT
Latent heat is defined as the amount of heat absorbed or given out by a body during the change of state
while its temperature remaining constant. Latent heat is of two types :
(i) Latent heat of fusion, and (ii) Latent heat of vaporisation

6.1 Latent heat of fusion
The latent heat of fusion of a substance is the quantity of heat required to change unit mass of the solid substance
form solid state to liquid state, while temperature remaining constant.
In case of ice, the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cals.
6.2 Latent Heat of Vaporisation
The latent heat of vaporisation of a substance is the quantity of heat required to change unit mass of liquid
substance into vapour state while temperature remaining constant.
In case of water, the latent heat of vaporisation is 540 cals.
The heat absorbed or rejected during change of state is : Q = ML
The heat absorbed by the substance during change of state is used in increasing the distance between the
atoms or molecules. During change of state the kinetic energy of the molecules remain constant but the potential
energy increases.
7. LAW OF MIXTURES
When two materials (solid-solid, liquid-liquid, solid-liquid) at different temperatures are mixed then heat given
by hotter system is equal to the heat taken by colder system.

Example based on Law of mixtures
Ex.3 1 g of steam at 100C can melt how much ice at 0C? Latent heat of ice = 80 cal/g and latent heat of
steam = 540 cal/g.
Sol. Heat required by ice for melting of m g of ice =mL =m 80 cal
Heat available with steam for being condensed and then brought to 0C
= 1 540 +100 =640 cal
m 80 =640
or m =
80
640
=8 grams
Ex.4 A tap supplies water is 10C and another tap at 100C. How much hot water must be taken so that we get
20 kg of water at 35C?
Sol. Let mass of hot water =m kg
mass of cold water = (20 m) kg
Heat taken by cold water = (20 m) 1 (35 10)
Heat given by hot water =m 1 (100 35)
Law of mixture gives
Heat given by hot water =Heat taken by cold water
m 1 (100 35) =(20 m) (35 10)
65 m =(20 m) 25
65 m =500 25 m or 90 m =500

Ex.6 5 g ice of 0C is mixed with 5 g of steam at 100C. What is the final temperature ?

L

As Q

. This means that whole steam is not even condensed.
Hence temperature of mixture will remain at 100C.
Ex.7 Determine the resulting temperature when 1 kg of ice at 0C is mixed with 9 kg of water at 50C.
Sol. Heat given by water to coll upto 0C is equal to = 9000 1 (50 0) =450000 cal. =450 kcal
heat taken by ice to melt =1000 80 =80000 cal. = 80 kcal
Since the hot water can give heat, therefore the temperature of mixture
cannot be zero degree. Therefore, if the temperature of mixture is u, then
9000 1 [50 u] = 1000 80 +1000 1 (u 0)
450000 80000 =10000 u or u =37C
Ex.8 How many grams of a liquid of specific heat 0.2 and at a temperature 40C must be mixed with 100 gm of
a liquid of sp. heat 0.5 and at 20C, so that the final temperature of the mixture becomes 32C?
Sol. The liquid at temperature 40C will give heat to the other liquid at temperature 20C. The temperature of the
mixture becomes 32C. Now
heat taken = 100 0.5 (32 20) = 600 cal
heat given = m 0.2 (40 32) =1.6 m cal
Now, heat taken =heat given
600 cal =1.6 m or m =

Ex.9 A lump of 0.10 kg of ice at 10C is put in 0.15 kg of water at 20C. How much water and ice will be found
in mixture when it has reached the thermal equilibrium ? Specific heat of ice =0.50 k cal/kg and its latent
heat of melting = 80 k cal/kg.
Sol. Heat taken by 0.10 kg of ice in coming from 10C to 0C
=100 0.5 10 =500 cal.
If m gm of ice melts, then heat taken in melting = m 80 cal.
Heat given by water = 150 20 = 300 cal.
500 +m 80 =3000 or m =(2500/80) =31.25 gm
Ice present at thermal equilibrium =100 31.25 =67.75 gm.
Water present at thermal equilibrium =150 +31.25 =181.25 gm.
8. CHANGE OF STATE
(i) Melting
Conversion of solid into liquid state at constant temperature is known as melting.
(ii) Boiling
Evaporation within the whole mass of the liquid is called boiling. Boiling takes place at a constant temperature
known as boiling point. A liquid boils when the saturated vapour pressure on its surface is equal to atmospheric
pressure. Boiling point reduces on decreasing pressure.
(iii) Evaporation
Conversion of liquid into vapours at all temperatures is called evaporation. It is a surface phenomenon. Greater
the temperature, faster is the evaporation. Smaller the boiling point of liquid, more rapid is the evaporation.
Smaller the humidity, more is the evaporation. Evaporation increases on decreasing pressure that is why evaporation
is faster in vacuum.
(iv) Sublimation
Direction conversion of solid in to vapourstate is called sublimation.
(v) Condensation
The process of conversion from gaseous or vapour state to liquid state is known as condensation .
These materials again get converted to vapour or gaseous state on heating.
(vi) Hoar frost
Direct conversion of vapour into solid state is called hoar frost.
(vii) Regelati on
When weights are suspended from a ice block with the help of a wire, then the wire
cuts the ice block and moves down, but the block again gets intact above the wire.
This process is known as regelation.
In this process due to increase in pressure the melting point of ice decreases and ice
melts and the wire penetrates into the block. After removal of pressure the melting point
again increases so that the melted ice again gets frozen and becomes intact.
9. HEATING CURVE
If to a given mass (m) of a solid, heat is supplied at constant rate and a graph is plotted between temperature
and time, the graph is as shown in fig. and is called heating curve. From this curve it is clear that

(d) In the region de temperature is constant, so it represents change of state, i.e., boiling with boiling point T

. At d
all substance is in liquid state while at e in vapour state and between d and e partly liquid and partly gas.
[In this region speicifc heat (1/tan 0) = ]
(e) The line ef represents gaseous state of substance with its temperature increasing linearly with time. The reciprocal
of slope of line will be proportional to specific heat or thermal capacity of substance in vapour state.
10. EQUILIBRIUM STATE AND PHASE CHANGE
There are three states of matter solid, liquid and gas.
(a) By changing the temperature and pressure on the substance their states (solid, liquid and gas) can be changed.
In order to change the state heat is either supplied to the system or taken from the system.
(b) The graph drawn in between the pressure and temperature of the substance is called change of phase indicator
diagram or (P T) state indicator diagram. With the help of this diagram phase changes of the substance
can be studied.
In the following figure, pressure temperature curve of a substance is shown.
Following characteristics are found in this indicator diagram :
(c) There is a range of each state and two regions are separated by a boundary curve.

is called triple point. At this point all the three states of matter are in equilibrium. This point is unique, i.e.
remains constant in all conditions. The triple point of water is 0.0098C at a pressure of 4.58 mm of mercury.
(e) Only two states of matter are found in equilibrium at any point (except triple point) situated on the boundary
curves.
(f) The curve made from common points of liquid and vapour states is called vaporisation curve, curve made
from common points of solid and liquid states is called mel ting curve then the curve made from the common
points of solid and vapour is called sublimation curve.
(g) If slight change occurs in the temperature or pressure, one out of the three states would disapear.
Melting point of ice decreases with the increase of pressure.
Boiling point of water increases with the increase of pressure.

The variation of melting point with pressure is given by the formula
