    This document provides information about calculating the energy changes involved when a material changes state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. It gives the specific latent heat values for fusion and vaporization of common materials like water and lead. Students are asked questions to calculate the energy required for different masses of materials to change state based on their specific latent heat, and to compare the relative energies and time scales involved for different materials undergoing the same change of state.

    Specific latent heat


    Specification reference:
     P3.2.3 Changes of heat and specific latent heat

    Aims
    In this exercise, you will consider how the mass and temperature of a material
    are affected when the material changes state. You will also calculate the energy
    changes involved in a change of state.

    Learning outcomes
    After completing this activity, you should be able to:
     describe what happens to a material’s mass and temperature when the
    material changes state
     use the equation for specific latent heat of fusion
     use the equation for specific latent heat of vaporisation
     compare the specific latent heat values for different materials
     calculate the energy changes required for different materials to undergo
    different changes of state.

    Questions
    1 Fill in the gaps in the text below using the answers provided in the box.
    The answers may need to be used once, more than once, or not at all. (6 marks)

    J 1 °C Energy 1 kg matter liquid fusion

    Specific latent heat is the amount of …………... required to convert …………...

    of material from one state of …………... to another. For example, a mass of

    1 kg will have a specific latent heat of …………... of 250 000 J/kg if an energy

    of 250 000 …………... is required to change its state from a solid to a

    …………... at the same temperature.

    2 The specific latent heat of fusion of a material tells you how much energy is
    required to convert 1 kg of a material from a solid to a liquid. To determine
    the total energy required to convert a material from a solid to a liquid, you
    need to know:
     the mass of the material in kg
     the specific latent heat of fusion for the material in J/kg.

    Material Specific latent heat of fusion in J/kg


    water 334 000

    become ice at 0 °C?

    (2 marks)

    3 The specific latent heat of vaporisation of a material tells you how much
    energy is required to convert 1 kg of a material from a liquid to a gas. To
    determine the total energy required to convert a material from a liquid to a gas,
    you need to know:
     the mass of the material in kg
     the specific latent heat of vaporisation for the material in J/kg.
