The amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one (1) kilogram of a substance by 1^o C is known as:

• Specific heat
• Heat of fusion
• Heat of vaporization
• Melting point

Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object is called...

• Gravitational

As a system becomes more disordered, entropy

• remains the same
• increases
• decreases
• cannot be determined
