Q

whe water moves from solid to gas/liquid to gas/ solid to liquid what happened to latent heat

A

it is absorbed

17
Q

when is there no temperature change in a substance

A

while a phase change is occuring

18
Q

latent heat of fusion of water is

A

6.0 KJ mol -1

19
Q

latent heat of vaporisation of water is

A

40.7 KJ mol -1

20
Q

latent heat unit

A

KJ mol -1

21
Q

worded equation for the amount of heat energy required forr a state change

A

heat energy (KJ) = moles (mol) x latent heat value of vaporisation/fusion (KJ mol -1)

22
Q

formula equation for the amount of heat energy required forr a state change

A

q = n x L

23
Q

what makes water such an effective coolant

A

its high specific heeat capacity and latent heat

24
Q

during a state change what is happening

A

the temperature of the substnace remains constant but it is still absorbing energy
