Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe differences between the energy of different substances at the same temperature.

Show transcript
It is easier to increase the temperature of some materials than others. The mass of particles and the attractive forces between particles are different in different substances. Different substances need different amounts of heating to reach the same temperature. The same amount of different materials at the same temperature can cause different amounts of heating. The higher the specific heat capacity, the more energy 1 kg of a substance has, at a temperature, in the thermal store.
