Lecture
This lecture covers latent heats, specific heat, and phase transitions, focusing on the calorimetry in the presence of state changes, which leads to a discussion on latent heats. It explains the concept through an example of heating ice to vapor, illustrating the temperature changes and the energy involved. The lecture also delves into the calculation of latent heat and its significance in phase transitions, using the example of melting ice in water. It concludes with practical applications of latent heat in cooling processes and the importance of considering it in energy calculations.
