Key Questions: |
- What is the equation used to calculate the energy for a change of state? Include units in your response.
- (MS) Energy for a change of state = mass ? specific latent heat
E = m L
Energy, E, in joules, J
mass, m, in kilograms, kg
specific latent heat, L, in joules per kilogram, J/kg
- What is meant by the term specific heat of fusion? Give an example to show what this means.
- Specific latent heat of fusion is the change of state from solid to liquid for instance ice melting to water
- What is the difference between specific heat capacity and specific latent heat?
- Specific heat capacity is the amount of Energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree. specific latent heat is the amount of Energy needed to change the state of a substance.
- What is meant by the term specific heat of fusion? Give an example to show what this means.
- Specific latent heat of vaporisation is the change of state from liquid to vapour. For example liquid water to steam.
