Tec — The Education Consultancy

Student Learning Outcomes covered

• Differentiate between heat and temperature
• Define heat capacity and specific heat capacity, with S.I. units; describe the everyday effect of water's large specific heat
• Describe heat of fusion and heat of vaporization as energy transfer without a change of temperature
• Describe experiments to determine heat of fusion and vaporization by sketching a temperature-time graph while heating ice
• Explain evaporation and the difference between boiling and evaporation; explain that evaporation causes cooling
• List the factors that influence surface evaporation
• Define thermal expansion; describe linear and volumetric expansion of solids qualitatively
• List everyday applications and consequences of thermal expansion
• Explain the thermal expansion of liquids — real and apparent expansion
