DEFINITION OF TERMS
Heat capacity is the quantity of heat required
to change/raise/lower the temperature of a
body by 1K. The unit is Joule per Kelvin.
Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat
required to raise the temperature of a unit
mass of a substance through unit
temperature. The unit is Joule per Kilogram
Kelvin. The formula is Q = mcϴ
In calorimetry and method of mixture
Heat lost by substance = heat gained by
substance
mcϴ = mcϴ
Specific latent of fusion is the quantity
of heat required to convert a unit mass of
a substance from solid to liquid without
change in temperature.
Mathematically expressed as Q = mL
 When
electrical means of heating is
involved, the formula becomes
 Ivt = mcϴ
 Ivt = mL
 Where L is the constant of
proportionality called the specific latent
heat of fusion or vaporization measured in
Joules per kilogram.
Definition of terms
 Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by
the molecules of a vapour.
 Saturated vapour is a vapour that is in contact
with its own liquid within a confirmed space.
 Saturated vapour pressure(SVP) is the
pressure exerted by the saturated vapour.
 Dew point is the temperature at which the
water vapour present in the air is just
sufficient to saturate.
Assignment
• A block of lead of mass 100kg in a crucible and at
a temperature of 40 degree Celsius was placed in
an electric furnace rated 10kw. If the melting
point of lead is 320 degree Celsius, calculate the
 (i) quantity of heat required to heat the lead to its
melting point.
 (ii) additional heat energy required to melt the
lead.
 (iii) time taken to supply this additional energy
specific heat capacity of lead = 120J/kgk, specific
latent heat of fusion of lead = 25000J/kg.
