Define the latent heat of fusion. Give some examples. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.092 calories per gram per degree Celsius. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of a 5 g piece of copper from 0 ? C to 80 ? C?
Heat Capacity of a body is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the body through unit degree. The heat capacity of a body depends on its mass and the nature of the body. The SI unit of heat capacity is {eq}\text J\text K^{-1} {/eq}...
Define the latent heat of fusion. Give some examples. What kind of energy is heat? What is the S.I. unit of specific heat capacity? What is the specific heat (J/kg-K) of a 300.5g substance that has a temperature change of 24.71^oC and a heat of 34.39 J?
