2.2.2 — Specific heat capacity

2.2.2 — Specific heat capacity

Core

  • 2.2.2.1 — Know that a rise in temperature increases an object’s internal energy

Supplement

  • 2.2.2.2 — Describe an increase in temperature in terms of an increase in average kinetic energy of particles
  • 2.2.2.3 — Define specific heat capacity and recall/use c = ΔE / (mΔθ)
  • 2.2.2.4 — Describe experiments to measure specific heat capacity of solids and liquids
