- The quantity of heat Q that changes the temperature ∆T of a mass m of a substance is given by Q = cm∆Tc is the specific heat capacity of the substance. For example, for H2O, c = 1 cal/g°C. And for a change of phase, the quantity of heat Q that changes the phase of a mass m is Q = mL, where L is the heat of fusion or heat of vaporization of the substance. For example, for H2O, the heat of fusion is 80 cal/g (or 80 kcal/kg) and the heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g (or 540 kcal/kg). Use these relationships to determine the number of calories to change (a) 1 kg of 0°C ice to 0°C ice water, (b) 1 kg of 0°C ice water to 1 kg of 100°C boiling water, (c) 1 kg of 100°C boiling water to 1 kg of 100°C steam, and (d) 1 kg of 0°C ice to 1 kg of 100°C steam.arrow_forwardA sample of a liquid has a mass m and a specific heat capacity c.
