How to Calculate efficiency
Measure of the useful energy released during an energy change
distinguish between the terms heat energy and temperature
Heat is the total energy of the motion of the molecules of a substance, whereas temperature refers to the measure of the average energy of the motions of the molecules in the substance
what are the factors that affect the quantity of heat energy in a substance
the amount of the heat needed, is the mass of the substance, is the specific heat capacity of the substance and is the difference in the temperature of a substance.
what is the state of matter of a substance from a heating curve
A heating curve of a substance shows the relationship of temperature, state of matter, and heat when added over time
Describe the movement of particles during changes of state
their closeness, arrangement or motion change
Describe the energy of particles during changes of state
As heat energy is added, the particles gain more heat energy until they undergo the process of changing state, at which point their temperature remains constant
