Overview
Student should be able to: Explain the relationship between the heat supplied to a substance and (a) its temperature change at constant mass. (b) It's mass at constant temperature change. Explain why there is unequal rise in temperature for different substances of the same mass supplied with the same quantity of heat. Explain the terms, specific heat capacity and thermal capacity. Calculate unknown quantities using the relation H = f\1C T when no chan~ of state is involved. Determine the melting point of a solid and boiling point of a given iiquid. List the effects of impurities and pressure on the melting point of solid and boilding point of liquid. Solve simple problems involving latent heat Distinguish between evaporation and boiling and explain sublimation Explain the working principles of such common devices as :refrigerator,air conditioner,pressure cooker. Explain the effects of humidity on personal comfort.
