2. The specific latent heat of melting for lead is 22.4 kJ/kg and that of oxygen is 13.9 kJ/kg. This means:

  • more energy is needed to melt lead than is needed to melt oxygen
  • more energy is needed to heat lead than is needed to heat the same mass of oxygen by the same amount
  • lead melts at a high temperature

3. Which statement about units is correct?

  • Temperature is measured in °C and energy in K
  • Temperature is measured in J and energy in °C
  • Temperature is measured in °C and energy in J
  • Temperature is measured in °C and energy in W

4. Which equation is correct?

  • energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
  • energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature
  • energy = mass x specific latent heat x temperature

5. As a solid melts:

  • its temperature increases
  • its temperature stays the same
  • its temperature decreases
