Why does ice expand when frozen?
when it begins to freeze forms a hexagonal pattern which takes up more space causing it to expanf
Heat Capacity
amount of heat required to raise the heat temperature of an object by 1 degrees Celsius
Specific Heat Capacity
amount of heat required to raise 1 unit of a substance by 1 degrees Celsius
heat energy = mass x specific heat energy x temperature change
Kelvin
unit of measurement for temperature 0 degrees celsius = 273.15 K
Latent Heat
heat required to change a substances sate of matter
latent heat = energy released/ mass
Latent Heat of Fusion
heat required to change from solid to liquid
Latent Heat of Vaporisation
heat required to change from liquid to gas
