Thermochemistry Review

How does heat flow?

• Always from cold to warm
• Always from warm to cold
• Both warm to cold & cold to warm
• It depends on the temperature

• Copper
• Carbon Steel
• Zinc
• Stainless Steel

A high specific heat means...

• It requires less energy to change temperature
• It requires more energy to change temperature
• It heats up very quickly
