Lesson 4 of 6

SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT

The specific latent heat of a substance is the energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of the substance with no change in temperature.

E = mL is given on the equation sheet. Specific latent heat of fusion: solid to liquid. Specific latent heat of vaporisation: liquid to gas. L is in J/kg.

Two Different Ideas

Particle model of matter

Lesson 4 of 6

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

• Energy to raise the temperature of 1 kg by 1 °C.

• The temperature changes.

• ΔE = mcΔθ; J/kg °C.

SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT

• Energy to change the state of 1 kg with no temperature change.

• The temperature stays the same.

• E = mL; J/kg.

Reading the Graph

Particle model of matter

Lesson 4 of 6

Explain why the temperature stays constant during section B of the heating curve.

1

Energy is still supplied

The particles are gaining energy

2

Where it goes

It increases the potential energy of the particles as the bonds are broken

3

So

The average kinetic energy, and the temperature, stay the same

ANSWER

The energy supplied breaks the bonds (changing potential energy) so the temperature does not rise.

Why Steam Burns More

Particle model of matter

Lesson 4 of 6

A favourite exam idea.

Condensing

Steam at 100 °C condenses to water at 100 °C and releases a lot of latent heat.

Then

The water then cools and releases more energy.

So

Steam transfers more energy to skin than boiling water at the same temperature.

YOUR TASK

Read the Curve

12 minutes

On a heating curve for water there are flat sections at 0 °C and 100 °C. Explain what is happening in each and why the second is longer.

1

Name each change.

2

Compare the latent heats.

WHAT A GOOD ANSWER SHOWS

At 0 °C the ice is melting; at 100 °C the water is boiling. The boiling section is longer because the latent heat of vaporisation is much greater than the latent heat of fusion.
