Chapter 10 thermal properties Flashcards
WHat is heat capacity
amount of thermal energy req to raise temp of a substance by 1k
What is specific heat capacity
amount of thermal energy required to raise temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1k
Formula of specific heat capacity
Q=mc 0
What is latent heat of fusion
energy absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces between solid particles during melting without change in temperature
latent heat of vaporization?
amount of energy absorbed to overcome the intermolecular foam between liquid particles during boiling without a change in temp
Specific latent heat of fusion
amount of thermal energy required to change a unit mass of substance from solid to liquid state
formula of specific latent heat
Lf x m
Lv x m
formula of heat capacity
q/0
What happens in melting and boiling
