UNIT 9: THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Differentiate between heat and temperature Define the terms heat capacity and specific heat capacity with SI unit Describe heat of fusion and heat of vaporization Describe experiments to determine heat of fusion and heat of vaporization of ice and water respectively by sketching temperature-time graph on heating ice.  Explain the process of evaporation and the difference between boiling and evaporation.  Define thermal expansion Describe qualitatively the thermal expansion of solids (linear and volumetric expansion)  List and explain some of the everyday applications and consequences of thermal expansion
