-
The Celsius scale derived on the planet will be the same as that on Earth, because the Celsius scale is independent of the freezing and boiling points of water.
-
The Celsius scale derived on that planet will not be the same as that on Earth, because the Celsius scale is dependent and derived by using the freezing and boiling points of water.
-
The Celsius scale derived on the planet will be the same as that on Earth, because the Celsius scale is an absolute temperature scale based on molecular motion, which is independent of pressure.
-
The Celsius scale derived on the planet will not be the same as that on Earth, but the Fahrenheit scale will be the same, because its reference temperatures are not based on the freezing and boiling points of water.
What is the difference between the freezing point and boiling point of water on the Reaumur scale?
- The boiling point of water is 80° on the Reaumur scale.
- Reaumur scale is less than 120°.
- 100°
- 80°

Aluminum has a specific heat of 900 J/kg·ºC. How much energy would it take to change the temperature of 2 kg aluminum by 3 ºC?
- 1.3 kJ
- 0.60 kJ
- 54 kJ
- 5.4 kJ
11.3 Phase Change and Latent Heat
Upon what does the required amount of heat removed to freeze a sample of a substance depend?
- The mass of the substance and its latent heat of vaporization
- The mass of the substance and its latent heat of fusion
- The mass of the substance and its latent heat of sublimation
- The mass of the substance only
What do latent heats, Lf and Lv, depend on?
- Lf and Lv depend on the forces between the particles in the substance.
- Lf and Lv depend on the mass of the substance.
- Lf and Lv depend on the volume of the substance.
- Lf and Lv depend on the temperature of the substance.
