Part A — Concept Questions
Which statement correctly distinguishes heat from internal energy?
MediumWhy does temperature remain constant while a substance melts or boils?
MediumWhat is the key difference between thermal capacity and specific heat capacity?
MediumPart B — Formula & Application
Find the heat energy needed to raise 3 kg of water by 15°C (c = 4200 J/(kg·°C)).
MediumFind the heat energy needed to vaporize 0.1 kg of water at its boiling point (Lᵥ = 2,260,000 J/kg).
MediumPart C — Problem Solving
0.25 kg of water at 95°C is mixed with 0.75 kg of water at 15°C (same c). Find the final temperature.
HardHow much ice (in kg) can be melted by 668,000 J of heat energy (Lf = 334,000 J/kg)?
HardPart D — Real-Life Application
Why do coastal regions typically have milder, more stable temperatures than inland regions?
MediumWhy does water boil at a lower temperature on a high mountain?
MediumPart E — Challenge
Why are steam burns typically more severe than burns from an equal mass of boiling water, even though both are at 100°C?
