heat review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the energy transferred between substances because of a difference in their temperatures | heat |
| the state in which two substances that are mixed or touched together reach the same temperature | thermal equilibrium |
| the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kg of a substance by 1 degree celcius or 1K | specific heat |
| a measure of the average kinetic energy if the particles (atoms or molecules) in a substance | temperature |
| the transfer of heat by means of motion in a fluid | convection |
| the process by which heat is transferred when objects at different temperatures are touched together | conduction |
| the increase in length or volume of a material when it is heated | thermal expansion |
| the natural processes tend to increase the entropy of the universe | 2nd law of thermodynamics |
| thermal energy cant be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one substance to another | 1st law of thermodynamics |
| a substance in which heat is easily transferred throughout | thermal conductor |
| as the temperature of a substance approaches absolute zero, this entropy and kinetic energy approaches zero | 3rd law of thermodynamics |
