🔍 Key Concepts

• heat vs. temperature change – when adding heat actually changes temperature • specific heat capacity vs. latent heat – one is about changing temperature, the other is about changing phase (ice to water, water to steam) • state properties like entropy that describe the disorder or energy distribution of a system

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term is defined by how much heat you must add to 1 kg (or 1 lb) of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 degree? • Which option is instead associated with heat added during a phase change when temperature does NOT change (like melting or boiling)? • Which of these terms describes a general thermodynamic property related to disorder, not directly ‘heat per degree per unit mass’?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the option you pick explicitly relates to unit mass AND per degree of temperature change. • Eliminate any choice that is mainly about phase change at constant temperature. • Eliminate any choice that describes a process type (how heat is transferred or not) instead of a material property.
