Section 2 in the syllabus
1
Q
Changes in gas pressures at r.t
A
- P1V1 = P2V2
- PV = constant
2
Q
Specific heat capaicity(J/kgc°)
A
Energy(J)/[Mass(kg) * Temperature change(°C)
3
Q
Conversion of Kelvin temp to Celcius
A
T (in K) = θ (in °C) + 273
4
Q
Describe specific heat capacity
A
The quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases by 1 K (or 1 °C)
5
Q
Describe specific latent heat
A
The amount of energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of the substance without changing its temperature
6
Q
Specific latent heat formula
A
Energy transferred(J) / Mass(kg)
