How specific heat differs from heat capacity?

Ans.

Specific HeatHeat capacity
·       Specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg mass of that substance through 1K.

·       Its unit is Jkg–1K–1

·       Heat capacity of a body is the quantity of thermal energy absorbed by it for one Kelvin (1 K) increase in its temperature.

·       Its unit is JK–1.

Give two uses of cooling effect by evaporation.

Ans.    i. Evaporation of perspiration helps to cool our body.

ii. In refrigerator evaporation of liquefied gas produces to cooling.

How evaporation differs from vaporization?

Ans.

EvaporationVaporization
Evaporation is the changing of a liquid into vapours (gaseous state) from the surface of the liquid without heating it.The process in which liquid converts into gas at its boiling point is called vaporization.
