(3 ).Regarding heat capacity, latent heat and temperature:
(a ).The difference between specific heat capacity and heat
capacity relates to the mass of substance involved.
(b ).Heat is a form of kinetic energy which can be transferred
from a colder substance to a hotter substance.
(c ).Temperature is the property of a substance that
determines whether an object will receive heat or give heat
to another object.
(d ).An example of latent heat of fusion is the heat associated
with a solid dissolving into a liquid at a constant temperature.
(e ).A clinical example of latent heat is in the use of ethyl
chloride spray for topical anaesthesia.

This helps our body to cool down, mainly because: (a) The more liquid (water) we loose, the less mass remains in the body, and therefore total internal energy of the body decreases. (b) The sweat evaporates, and it takes the heat of evaporation from our body. (c) The relative humidity in the vicinity of our body increases, causing the skin to "feel" colder even though temperature has not decreased. (d) Sweat is hot, therefore as body losses it, we feel colder.arrow_forward
