10.2 - Energy Transfer Flashcards
1
Q
Specific heat capacity
A
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1 degree.
2
Q
What is the formula for specific heat capacity?
A
Q = mcΔt
Q = Energy (J)
m = mass (g)
c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)
Δt = change in temperature
3
Q
Conduction
A
Energy transferred through molecules colliding.
4
Q
Convection
A
Transfer of energy through currents in gases and liquids.
5
Q
Radiation
A
Energy travelling in waves.
6
Q
Heat of fusion
A
Amount of energy required to melt one mole of a substance.
7
Q
Heat of vaporization
A
Amount of energy required to convert one mole of liquid to gas.
