P1.3-Specific Latent Heat

P1.3 Specific Latent Heat

Changing State

When something changes state, it takes in energy

For example, when ice is melting, its temperature stays constant

The energy taken in is used to break the interolecular bonds 

Exaples of Changing State

• Melting and Boiling (increasing energy)
• Condensing and Freezing (decreasing energy)

Specific Latent Heat

• The amount of energy in Joules needed to change…
