Question

differences between specific heat and latent heat

Answer 1

specific heat is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance.
latent heat is the energy absorbed by the body when converting from one state to another.

Answer 2

Answer:

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of an object by 1°C is called the specific heat of that object.

The heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapour, or a liquid into a vapour, without change of temperature is called the specific latent heat.

Specific heat is measured using calorimeter.

Specific latent heat is measured using a graph.
