Closed system

Matter cannot enter/leave; energy can be transferred in/out

Isolated system

Neither energy nor matter can enter or leave

First law of thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system

Latent heat

Energy added/removed during state change; temperature constant

Specific latent heat of fusion

Energy to change 1extkg1 ext{ kg} solid to liquid, no temp. change

Specific latent heat of vaporization

Energy to change 1extkg1 ext{ kg} liquid to gas

Formula for latent heat energy

Q=mLQ = mL

Temperature during state change

Remains constant even though energy is added or removed
