Assignment Science Term 3

The document contains information about heat capacity, specific heat capacity, and latent heat. It provides examples of calculating the heat required to change the temperature of various materials and the mass of water needed to absorb a given amount of heat. It also defines specific latent heat as the energy required to change a unit mass of substance between states of matter without changing temperature, and gives the specific latent heat of fusion and vaporization of water as examples.
