Define thermal energy.
Think of both kinetic and potential energy.
What does specific heat capacity measure?
Consider the change in temperature context.
What is thermal energy?
Consider the energy from heat.
True or False: Latent heat is the heat required to change the temperature of a substance.
Think about how ice becomes water.
A 3 kg block of aluminum is heated from 25°C to 75°C. If the specific heat capacity of aluminum is 900 J/kg°C, how much heat was absorbed?
Use the specific heat formula while substituting relevant values.
During a phase change, 500 g of water at 100°C turns into steam. How much energy is needed, given the latent heat of vaporization for water is 2,260,000 J/kg?
Remember to convert grams to kilograms for the calculation.
