Term

Specific Latent Heat

Definition

the amount of heat required to change the state of 1kg of a substance without changing its temperature

Term

Specific Heat Capacity

Definition

the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 Celsius 

Term

Formula of Specific Heat Capacity

 

Definition

C = E/m x change in temperature 

Term

Formula of Specific Latent Heat

Definition

E = m x L

 

Term

Effects on pressure of a gas when temperature changes

Definition

an increase in temperature of a gas of fixed volume, the particles of a gas to gain kinetic energy, the pressure of a gas increases (more frequent collision)

Term

Effects on pressure of a gas when volume is changed

Definition

a decrease in volume of a gas of fixed temperasure, the particles of a gas, the pressure of a gas increases (more frequent collisions)

Term

a formula of relationship between pressure and volume

 

Definition

P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

 

Term
