INTERNAL ENERGY

Internal energy is the total kinetic energy and potential energy of all the particles that make up a system.

Heating increases the energy of the particles. This either raises the temperature of the system or produces a change of state.

Temperature or Change of State?

Particle model of matter

Lesson 3 of 6

TEMPERATURE RISES

• The kinetic energy of the particles increases.

• The average speed of the particles increases.

• Calculate with ΔE = mcΔθ.

STATE CHANGES

• The potential energy of the particles increases.

• The particles move further apart or become free.

• The temperature stays the same.

Energy for a Temperature Rise

Particle model of matter

Lesson 3 of 6

Calculate the energy needed to raise the temperature of 0.50 kg of water from 20 °C to 60 °C. c = 4200 J/kg °C.

1

Temperature change

60 − 20 = 40 °C

2

Substitute

ΔE = 0.50 × 4200 × 40

3

Answer

ΔE = 84 000 J

ANSWER

84 000 J (84 kJ)

Comparing Internal Energy

Particle model of matter

Lesson 3 of 6

Which has more internal energy: 1.0 kg of water at 50 °C or 2.0 kg of water at 50 °C?

1

Same temperature

The particles have the same average kinetic energy

2

Different mass

2.0 kg has twice as many particles, so twice as much total energy

ANSWER

2.0 kg of water has more internal energy.

YOUR TASK

More Energy

10 minutes

Explain what happens to the internal energy and the temperature of a beaker of water as it is heated (a) from 20 °C to 60 °C (b) while ice at 0 °C is melting.

1

Say what changes in the particles.

2

Say what happens to temperature.

WHAT A GOOD ANSWER SHOWS

(a) Internal energy increases, mainly kinetic energy, so the temperature rises. (b) Internal energy increases as potential energy rises, but the temperature stays at 0 °C.
