science question help

[harry.y]

explain the differences in density between the different states of matter in terms of the arrangement pf atoms or molecules

what is the difference between specific heat capacity and specific latent heat?
 

thanks

What have you got so far?

[dylrovertson]

Most of the people ask this same question. 

"Specific Heat capacity" is total amount of heat required to raise temperature of a substance a certain amount. 

"Latent Heat capacity" is total amount of heat released during a change of state, i.e. boiling of water or the melting of ice.

This is the difference between Specific Heat capacity and Latent Heat capacity.

Hopefully you have got your answer.

Thanks.

You have just taught harry.y that they don't have to make any effort to learn things. They can just ask their homework questions here and someone will answer them. Do you think that is a good character building technique?
