Changes of State
Q=Mc T
(Gain or loss)=(Mass) (Specific Heat) (Triangle) (Temperature)
T= Q/Mc
(Triangle) Temperature=(Triangle) (Gain or loss)/(Mass) (Specific heat)
phase diagram
a graph that shows the state of a substance at any given temperature
latent heat of vaporization
amount of energy required to change 1 gram of material from the liquid to the gaseous state at its boiling point
latent heat of fusion
amount of energy required to change 1 gram of material from the solid to the liquid state at its melting point
specific heat
the amount of energy required to change 1 gram of a substance by 1degrees C
calorie
the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of liquid water from 14.5 degrees C to 15.5 degrees C
