1
Q
Specific heat capacity
A
The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of the material by 1 degree without it changing state. It is measured in J/kg (degree C)
2
Q
Latent heat
A
The energy transfered during a change if state without changing temperature.
3
Q
Specific latent heat
A
The energy required to change the state of 1kg of a material without changing temperature
4
Q
Specific latent heat of fusion
A
Specific latent heat of changing a material from solid to liquid
5
Q
Specific latent heat of vaporisation
A
The specific latent heat of changing a material from a liquid to a gas
6
Q
