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
