Thermochemistry Pt. 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Specific Heat
A
substance simply increases its temperature as heat is added/lost
- NO phase change involved
- the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance
- higher SH = substance resist temperature changes than those with lower SH
2
Q
Specific Heat Equation
A
q = mcΔT
3
Q
Calorimetry
A
laboratory technique for quantifying heat transfers by measuring the temperature changes in the substances involved (think specific heat)
