1
Q
What is specific latent heat?
A
The energy needed to break intermolecular bonds and cause a change of stat of 1kg of a material
2
Q
What is the equation for specific latent heat?
A
Energy= mass x latent heat Latent heat (Lf) = energy/mass
3
Q
How else can you work out energy in a specific latent heat experiment?
A
Energy= current x potential difference x time in seconds
