Specific Heat Capacity & Specific Latent Heat

Question 1

If the temperature increases then it depends on…

Answer 1

the mass, type of material and energy input

Question 2

What is the formula that link mass, specific heat capacity and temperature together?

Answer 2

change in thermal energy= mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change

Question 3

What is change in temperature measured in?

Answer 3

Joules J

Question 4

What is mass measured in?

Answer 4

kg

Question 5

What is specific heat capacity measured in?

Answer 5

J/kg Celsius

Question 6

What is temperature change measured in?

Answer 6

Celsius

Question 7

What is specific heat capacity?

Answer 7

The amount of energy to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree

Question 8

What is specific latent heat?

Answer 8

The amount of energy to change the state of a substance of 1 kg with no change in temperature

Question 9

What are the two different types of specific latent heat?

Answer 9

specific heat capacity of fusion and specific heat capacity of vaporisation

Question 10

What is specific heat capacity of fusion

Answer 10

change of state from a solid to a liquid

Question 11

What is specific heat capacity of vaporisation

Answer 11

change of state from a liquid to a gas

Question 12

what is the difference between specific heat latent and specific heat capacity?

Answer 12

S.H.C=The amount of energy to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree S.H.L=The amount of energy to change the state of a substance of 1 kg with no change in temperature
