rev3.shtml The specific latent heat of a substance is a measure of how much heat energy is needed to melt or boil it. It is the energy needed to melt or boil 1 kg of the substance. Different substances have different specific latent heats. The specific latent heat of a given substance is different for boiling than it is for melting. The table shows some examples. Latent heats of substances substance specific latent heat of melting kJ/kg specific latent heat of boiling kJ/kg water 334 2260

photosynthesis requires water in order to create glucose. The fact that water has an unusually high specific heat capacity makes it a very useful substance for living organisms. Water does not change temperature very easily and therefore minimizes fluctuations in temperature in cells and creates a remarkably constant sea temperature for aquatic organisms. Water has a high latent heat of vaporisation which means that when animals sweat and plants transpire water‚ takes energy from the organism

The Biological Importance of Water Water is perhaps the most important molecule for the survival and life of organisms. On the surface of the planet there is obviously much more area of water than land‚ which shows its significance. The fact that water makes up 60-95% of all living organisms shows the incredible biological importance of water. Water has many uses and roles‚ one of them it being used as a support unit in plants. The uptake of water by plant cells creates a pressure against the rigid

the top one metre of ice‚ called the active layer. This layer contains both water and mud‚ which both have different viscosities and therefore different specific heat capacities. During the three months of summer‚ when the active layer is visible‚ rocks will embed themselves into it. These rocks have a fairly high specific heat capacity in relation to ice‚ so the ice around it will be melted‚ and the process of percolation will cause a pool of water will form below the rock. As the temperature drops

the heat transfer occur: from hot water to cold‚ or from cold water to hot? Answer: The heat transferred from hot water to cold water is due to their potential (temperature) difference. * c. What quantity of heat was transferred from one sample to the other? Answer: Here heat transfer from hot water to cold water. Mass of hot water (m) = 200g Initial temperature (T) = 80˚C Finial temperature (T2) = 60˚C Specific heat of water (s) = 4.18 J/g˚C ∆T=(60-80)℃ = - 20˚C Heat transfer

is heated‚ it will release much more heat than the popcorn. This will be the result as the Dorito has more mass than Popcorn as well as more carbohydrates. It would take about 4-5 Dorito’s or 15 Popcorn to boil 250mL of water.
