Specific Heat Capacity And Specific Latent Heat Flashcards
Increase temperature of a system
Specific heat capacity
Cause a change of state?
Specific latent heat
What is the specific heat capacity of a material?
The amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1kg of that material by 1°C
What is specific heat capacity symbol and measurement?
c, J/kg°C
What is the symbol of the change in temperature!
0
What is specific latent heat?
The amount of energy needed to change 1kg of the substance from one state to another with no charge in temperature
Why does a substance stop increasing in temperature when boiling/melting point is reached?
All the energy given to it is used to break the bonds of the particles in the substance, this is called latent heat
What is specific latent heat symbol and measurement?
L, J/kg
What is fusion and vaporisation?
Fusion=melting
Vaporisation=boiling
