What is the specific heat ?
The specific heat or (Specific Heat Capacity (c)) is defined as the amount of heat (energy) needed to raise the temperature of Ikg of the substance by
(1°C or 1K).
What the unit of specific heat?
(J °C^-1g^-1) or (J K^-1g^-1)
Specific Heat Capacity: Heat energy required to heat a substance depends
on:
1- The mass of the substance.
2- The temperature rise.
3- The nature of the substance.
What is the calorimeter?
A calorimeter is an insulated device used for measuring t amount of heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction or physical process.
What is the latent heat?
The latent heat of fusion (or vaporization of a material is defined as the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or a liquid into a vapour, without change of temperature.
