Specific Heat Capacity

Energy to raise 1 kg by 1°C

Specific Latent Heat

Energy to change state of 1 kg (no temp change)

What SHC measures

Heat energy needed to change temperature

What SLH measures

Energy to change state without changing temp

Type of change in SHC

Temperature change

Type of change in SLH

State change

Temperature during SLH

Remains constant

Mass in SHC and SLH definitions

1 kg

Energy in SHC is proportional to

Mass, specific heat capacity, and temp change

Bonds during phase transition

Break or form between particles

SHC formula

ΔE=mcΔθ\Delta E = mc\Delta\theta

SLH formula

E=mLE = mL
