  1. Question 1Strategic thinking

    Calculate the heat needed to raise 2 kg of copper (c = 390 J/kg degree C) by 60 degrees C.

    • a46 800 J
    • b780 J
    • c23 400 J
    • d120 J
  2. Question 2Skills & concepts

    Specific latent heat of vaporisation concerns changing

    • a1 kg of liquid to gas or gas to liquid
    • b1 kg of solid to liquid
    • cany mass of solid
    • d1 mole of gas
  3. Question 3Strategic thinking

    If 1 kg of a substance needs 400 J to rise by 1 degree C, its specific heat capacity is
