Cards (17)

  • What concept is discussed in today's video?
    Specific latent heat
  • What happens to particles as a substance is heated?
    Particles gain energy in their kinetic energy store
  • How does temperature relate to internal energy?
    Temperature measures average internal energy of particles
  • What occurs during a change in state regarding energy?
    Energy weakens or breaks forces between particles
  • What happens to temperature during a state change?
    Temperature remains constant during state change
  • What is the term for energy required to change state without temperature change?
    Latent heat
  • What is specific latent heat (SLH)?
    Energy to change 1 kg of substance's state
  • What are the two types of specific latent heat?
    Latent heat of vaporization and fusion
  • What is the specific latent heat of fusion for water?
    334,000 joules per kilo
