A

LATENT HEAT

27
Q

It is the transfer of thermal energy between neighboring molecules in a substance due to temperature gradient

A

THERMAL CONDUCTION

28
Q

It states that the time rate of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the gradient in the temperature and to the area at right angles to that gradient through which the heat is flowing

41
Q

It is an experimental technique used to measure the specific heat of a substance.

A

CALORIMETRY

42
Q

It states that for a confined fluid the pressure at a point has the same magnitude in all directions

A

PASCAL’S LAW

43
Q

States that the total property of a mixture of ideal gases is the sum of properties that the individual gases would have if each occupied the same temperature

A

GIBB’S THEOREM

44
Q

The ENTHALPHY change for any chemical reaction is independent of the intermediate stages provided initial and final conditions are the same for each route

A

HESS’S LAW

45
Q

It states that the net mass transfer to or from a system during a process is equal to the net change in the total mass of the system during that process
