What is specific latent heat
The amount off energy required to change state of 1kg of a substance.
2 of 6
How does rubbing your hands together make them hot?
Rubbing your hands together generates friction which transfers energy by heating
3 of 6
Why does water have a high specific heat capacity?
It requires a lot of energy to change 1kg of it by 1C
4 of 6
How do you calculate specific heat capacity?
energy= mass times specific heat capacity times change in temperature
