    Specific Latent Heat

    The specific latent heat of a substance is the quantity of energy required to change 1 kg of the substance from one phase to another at constant temperature. To determine the specific latent heat of fusion of ice, one melts small pieces of ice in water while measuring the temperature change and mass of ice melted. Using the principle of conservation of energy, the specific latent heat of fusion can be calculated. Similarly, to determine the specific latent heat of vaporization of water, one boils water in an insulated beaker for 15 minutes while measuring the mass of water boiled off to calculate the specific latent heat using the power input.

    Specific Latent Heat

     The specific latent heat of a substance is the quantity


    of energy required to change 1 kg of the substance
    from one phase to another at a constant
    temperature
     The equation Eʜ = ml can be used to calculate the

    specific latent heat (l) of the substance


    Specific Latent Heat of Fusion of Ice
     To determine the specific latent heat of fusion of ice
     Find the mass of a clean, dry polystyrene cup with a
    drinking straw (used as a stirrer)
     Half fill the cup with water that has been previously
    warmed to 15⁰C above room temperature
     Determine the new mass of the cup with the water
    and straw and hence determine mw the mass of the
    water in the cup
     When the temperature of the water in the cup is
    about 10⁰C above room temperature (this
    temperature should be accurately recorded with a
    thermometer, while stirring) start adding small pieces
    of ice, previously dried on a tissue to remove water
     Add one piece at a time and stir until all the ice is
    melted before adding another piece
     Keep repeating this until the final water temperature
    is about 10⁰C below the room temperature
     Record this temperature
     Next weigh the cup with cold water to find the total
    mass and thus the mass mi of ice melted
    The changes taking place are:
    Ice  water at 0⁰C (change of state, so temperature is constant)
    Water from ice at 0⁰C  water in cup at θf⁰C
    (change of temperature of water = θf⁰C)

    Water initially in cup at θi⁰C  water in cup at


    (where θi = initial temperature of water in cup
    and θf = final temperature of water in cup)

    While the ice gains heat and melts the water


    and calorimeter are both losing the same
    amount of heat (to melt the ice and raise the
    temperature of the water formed from it)
    By the Principle of Conservation of Energy:
    Heat lost by water Heat gained Heat gained

    originally in cup = by ice + by water


    formed
    from ice
    mw cw (θi – θf ) = mi l + mi cw (θf - 0)

    By substituting for mw, cw, θf and θi the value of l


    may be found
    Note:
     The ice should be dried properly with tissue
    paper before placing it in the water
     When the water and calorimeter are 10⁰C
    above room temperature the heat lost (mainly
    by radiation) at temperatures above room
    temperature is compensated for by adding
    enough ice to cool the temperature down to
    10⁰C below room temperature when heat is
    now gained from the surroundings
     The water and ice must be stirred to achieve a
    uniform temperature
    Specific Latent Heat of Vapourization
     To determine the specific latent heat of
    vapourization of water
    Place the heater in an insulated beaker
    of water and switch on
    After the water begins to boil note the
    reading on the balance and immediately
    start a stop-watch
    As boiling continues the water
    evaporates
    Note the reading on the balance every
    minute for the next 15 minutes
    Suppose a 100W immersion heater is used
    Power of heater x time = Heat supplied by
    heater to water to
    change it to steam
    100 x (15 x 60) = ml
    If 30g of water is boiled off in this time then
    100 x (15 x 60) = 0.03 x l
    Note:
     One possible error arising in this experiment is
    that the can and water lose heat to the
    surroundings
     Do not let the coil touch the sides or bottom
    of the container
