specific heat capacity and specific latent heat

Cards (7)

  • give factors affecting temperature change of system
    mass, type of and energy input of heated substance
  • describe specific heat capacity
    amount of energy required to raise temperature of 1 kg of substance by 1 degree
  • describe latent heat
    energy required for substance to change state
  • describe change of state of substance
    energy supplied affects internal energy with constant temperature due to energy used to break / form bonds
  • describe specific latent heat
    amount of energy required to change state of one kg of substance with no change in temperature
  • describe specific latent heat of fusion
    energy required to change state of one kg from solid to liquid with no change of temperature
  • describe specific latent heat of vaporisation
    energy required to change state of one kg of substance from liquid to vapour with no change of temperature
