OBJECTIVES
This learning module is all about the difference between temperature and heat in
physics. The students were able to learn from the previous grade that heat can transfer from
one body to another of different temperature through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Hence in this module, the learners will learn about the relationship between
temperature and heat; heat transfer and the factors that affect the amount of heat an object
can absorb or release.

LESSON DISCUSSION
LESSON 1: HEAT AND TEMPERATURE AND THE EFFECTS OF HEAT
Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldness of an object. Kinetic Molecular
Theory tells us that all matter has molecules or atoms which are constantly moving; thus, they
have kinetic energy. Molecules are constantly moving but at different speeds and in the same
direction. Moreover, the faster these molecules move, the more kinetic energy they have. The
more kinetic energy, the higher is the temperature of an object. Temperature is a measure of
the average kinetic energy of molecules. When molecules move faster, they have higher
temperatures while when molecules move slower, they have lower temperatures.
What is Heat?
Caloric Theory is an early theory on heat. It considered heat to consist a fluid called
caloric fluid which flows from hotter objects to colder objects. James Prescott superseded
this theory by proving that a measurable amount of mechanical energy can always be
transformed into definite amounts of heat. He called this quantity as a mechanical equivalent
of heat and has a value of 4.186 Joules (J) equivalent to 1 calorie (cal). Prescott further
concluded that heat is another form of energy.
Joule (J) is the SI unit of heat. Another common unit of heat is calorie (cal), defined
as the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of one gram of water by 1 ºC at
a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). To avoid confusion, Calorie is not used to refer to an
amount of heat. It is used by dieticians or nutritionists to specify energy content of food.
Temperature Scales
Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II, invented the most common type of
thermometer, liquid-in-glass thermometer, in 1650. This type of thermometer is a sealed glass
tube containing mercury and with an imprinted temperature scale. The mercury expands or
contracts, causing it to move up or down when there are changes in the temperature.
The three common temperature scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Anders
Celsius introduced the Celsius scale in 1741 while Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit introduced
8
the Fahrenheit scale in 1724. Both scales used the freezing and boiling points of water as
reference points.
• On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0 ºC while its boiling point
is 100 ºC under a pressure of 1 atm, having 100 intervals between two
reference points.
• On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 ºF while its boiling
point is 212 ºF, having 180 intervals between two reference points. The
difference between these two reference points is divided equally into intervals
called degrees (º).
William Thompson also known as Lord Kelvin, introduced the third temperature scale
which is called Kelvin. This scale is based on absolute zero corresponding to 0 kelvin. It is
the lowest possible temperature and it is when the molecules of the substance have the lowest
energy.
Kelvin scale cannot have negative temperatures. On the kelvin scale, the freezing
point of water is 273 K while its boiling point is 373 K. The temperature difference is 100 kelvin.
The difference in temperature between two reference points in the Celsius scale is also 100
Cº. So, when comparing kelvin and Celsius scales in terms of change or difference in
temperature, 1 K is equivalent to 1 Cº.
The symbols ºC, ºF, and K are used to report temperatures of objects while Cº,
Fº, and K are used for temperature difference or change in temperature. For example,
the freezing point of water in the three scales is 0 ºC, 32 ºF, and 273 K and its boiling point is
100 ºC, 212 ºF, and 373 K respectively. Hence, the temperature of the water from freezing to
its boiling increased by 100 Cº, 180 Fº, and 100 K. Thus, 100 Cº is equal to 180 Fº and also
equal to 100 K. The relation between temperature in Celsius scale (TC), temperature in
Fahrenheit scale (TF), and temperature in Kelvin (TK) are as follows:

Phase Change
When the temperature of substances changes, the molecular structure and
movement also change which results to phase change.
• Fusion or Melting is the process that causes a solid to change to its liquid
state. The amount of heat required to produce this change is called heat of
fusion. When liquids release heat, the water molecules begin to move at a
slower pace. The space between the molecules becomes compact.
• The process of changing liquids to solids is called Solidification or Freezing.
• When water boils, Evaporation takes place. Heat is absorbed and water is
converted into steam or water vapor. The amount of heat needed for a liquid
to evaporate depends on the boiling point of the liquid.
• When water vapor releases heat, its gas state changes to the liquid state
through Condensation which accounts for the formation of clouds in the water
cycle.
• In addition, Sublimation is the process of transforming a substance from
the solid phase directly to the gas state without passing the liquid phase
and requires additional energy.
• Deposition is the process of transforming a substance from gas to solid
without passing the liquid phase and requires a release of energy.
During any of these phase changes, energy is either given off or taken in. When a
substance changes phase, the temperature does not change, only the amount of energy
changes.

Thermal Expansion
When temperature changes, thermal expansion in solids happens. It causes a change
in their length, width, height, area, and volume. Molecules or atoms of materials vibrate
constantly. Heating these materials causes the particles to vibrate faster, fill in more
spaces, and move to empty spaces resulting in the materials to expand or increase in
size. On the other hand, when the temperature is reduced, the particles vibrate slower
and move closer to each other.
Generally, materials expand when the temperature is increased or contract when the
temperature is reduced. This is what happens to the mercury inside the glass tube of
thermometers. The mercury expands at a different rate than the tube. Thus, as the
temperature increases, it rises and drops when temperature decreases.
Thermal expansion also happens in liquids and gases. Molecules of fluids vibrate
faster, tend to move farther away from each other, and attract weakly to each other when
heated. When cooled, the molecules vibrate slower and move closer to each other. When the
temperature is increased, fluids expand. On the other hand, when the temperature is
reduced, the fluids contract. The increase or decrease in the temperature causes the
volume of the fluids to change. This concept of expansion and contraction in fluids is not
applicable to water. It behaves differently from other liquids. Whether increased or reduced
from 4 ºC, water expands. This is why water is densest at 4 ºC. The mass of the material is
constant when it expands. Its volume increases and it becomes less dense. When
cooled, the mass also remains constant but the volume of the material reduces and it
becomes more dense.
For example, you are stirring a pot of soup on a stove using a metal spoon. If you leave
the spoon on the pot, the spoon will be hot enough and may burn your hand while the soup
will feel warm. This is because the metal spoon has a lower heat capacity than the soup.
The specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one gram
of a substance by one degree Celsius.
