CHAPTER 4 : HEAT

PQ = mcθ Q = specific heat capacity T or θ =

temperature (Kelvin)
PV or P/T or V/T
M = mass £ = specific latent heat
£ = Q/m

 Thermal equilibrium –T1 = T2 or θ1 = θ2 (no net flow between two object)

 Thermometer reading

 Specific heat capacity – Amount heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of subtance by 1°c

 Cooling curve

 Latent heat – heat absorb at constant temperature during a change phase

 Latent heat fusion – solid liquid

 Latent heat vaporation – liquid gas]

 Specific latent heat – Q/m

• amount of heat required to change the phasde of 1 kg of subtance at constant temperature

 Boyle law – P= T/V ( gas pressure is inversely proportional to its volume if temperature constant)

 Charles law – V = PT (volume gas is directly proportional to it temperature if pressure constant)

 Pressure law – P = VT (gas pressure is directly proportional to it temperature if volume constant)
