Heat capacity

Question 1

Heat capacity

Answer 1

Heat capacity, is a fundamental property of matter that quantifies the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). Mathematically : C=EH/\Delta T

Question 2

Specific heat capacity

Answer 2

Specific heat capacity, also known as specific heat, is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin).
Mathematically, it is expressed as: EH=MC Delta T
Q = heat energy
m = mass
c = specific heat capacity
\Delta T = change in temperature

Question 3

Latent heat

Answer 3

Latent heat is the heat absorbed or released by a substance during a phase change (such as melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation) at a constant temperature.

Question 4

Latent Heat of Fusion

Answer 4

Latent heat of fusion is the heat absorbed or released when a substance changes from a solid phase to a liquid phase, or vice versa, at constant temperature. Mathematically : EH=M x L
m= mass
l= latent heat

Question 5

Latent Heat of Vaporization

Answer 5

Latent heat of vaporization is the heat absorbed or released when a substance changes from a liquid phase to a gas phase, or vice versa, at constant temperature.
