Front

The units for specific heat are:

Back

J/g°C

Front

A metal cube at temperature of 70°C is immersed in water at temperature of 20°C. The metal _______ heat while the water __________ heat.

Back

loses, gains

Front

What unit do you use to measure Thermal Energy?

Back

Front

Which material would have the SMALLEST change in temperature when heated with 10,000 JOULES of thermal energy?

Back

Carbon Steel

Front

What is specific heat?

Back

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C.

Front

What is the formula for calculating heat transfer?

Back

Q = mcΔT, where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Front

What does the term 'thermal equilibrium' mean?

Back

It is the state in which two objects in contact with each other reach the same temperature.

Front

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance, while temperature is a measure of the average energy of that motion.

Front

What is the specific heat of water?

Back

4.18 J/g°C.
