Boiling point and properties of substances All water boils at 100°C when heated, even if it has a different mass. In this way, the same kind of substance has the same boiling point regardless of quantity. But different substances express … more
About this simulation This simulation shows the particle’s temperature by its color.● Red means high temperature.● Blue means low temperature. We apply Hooke’s law between particles.(\(f=-kx\)) Thermal Conduction Conduction is a method of transfer of heat that occurs primarily in … more
Conduction of Heat If a high-temperature object and a low-temperature object are attached to each other, the high-temperature object’s heat moves to the low heat by molecular motion. Examples of Conduction that can be seen around us Gold, silver, iron, … more
* The gas molecules in the above simulation are all of the same type, and the color of the molecules is for identification purposes only. Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases ‘Kinetic Theory of Gases’ is a hypothesis to explain the … more
Where did the pendulum’s energy go? A pendulum that vibrates in the air continues to collide with air molecules in the process of vibrating. Air molecules get their energy from the pendulum. In this process, Air molecules increase their speed. … more
The air conditioner The air conditioner is based on ‘evaporative heat'(a phenomenon that absorbs the surrounding heat when the liquid evaporates). The indoor unit suddenly expands the compressed refrigerant through a narrow hole. Then, the refrigerant evaporates into the gas … more
You can drag ‘start’ and ‘endpoint.’ Thermodynamics of Gas The gas changes its temperature while exchanging thermal energy with the outside and sometimes does work outside as it expands or contracts. The process of changing the temperature, pressure, and volume … more
Heat and molecular motion Every object is made up of atoms or molecules that are small particles that the eye can not see. These particles are constantly moved or oscillated themselves. This is called molecular motion. The higher the molecular … more
Melting point and heat of fusion When heat is applied to ice (solid), the temperature rises gradually. By the way, while the ice is melting, the temperature does not rise. Temperature is kept constant, and the temperature at this time … more
Heat capacity ‘Heat capacity’ is the amount of heat to raise the temperature of an object by 1℃. The heat capacity of an object is the specific heat of the object multiplied by the object’s mass. Since the heat capacity … more
Specific Heat When you apply the same amount of heat to metal and water of the same mass, the metal temperature change is greater than that of water. This is because the amount of heat required to change the temperature … more
