March 6, 2022•156 words
{Specific heat capacity
Def: -Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat E required to change the T of unit mass(1kg) of a substance by 1K(1oC)}
Q=mc/\theta
Where; Q=thermal E transferred, m=mass of substance, c=specific heat capacity /\theta=change in T -Units Jkg-1K-1

Latent Heat
{Def: -The total energy required to change a substance from the solid to liquid(or released when the substance changes from liquid to solid) is known as heat of fusion.}
-The total energy required to change a substance from the liquid to vapor is known as the heat of vaporisation
{Specific Latent Heat
Specific latent heat of fusion(L[f])
Energy required to change the state of unit mass of the substance from solid to liquid without change in temperature
Specific heat of vaporisation(L[v])
Energy required to change the state of unit mass of the substance from liquid to vapour without change in temperature
Q=mL -Unit Jkg-1
