The energy required to melt one gram of a substance is known as what?
heat of fusion
What does the specific heat of a substance?
The ability of a substance to hold heat.
What does specific heat of a substance represent?
The ability of a substance to hold heat.
What do you call heat that is added or removed from a substance but does not change the state of the substance sensible heat latent heat super heat or radiation heat?
Latent Heat.
What is the heat of what energy needed for a substance to change from a liquid state to an gaseous state?
The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1 celsius is defined as its specific heat or specific heat capacity.Translating the question into "math-speak" will give you the units: it wants to know heat per gram per degree celsius.Heat = J (or cal), per means divide, gram = g, degree celsius = oC, soJ/(g)(oC), which is the unit for specific heat capacity!
What does It mean when one substance is known to be better conductor of heat than another?
It has more free electrons in the outer energy band.
What is the direct transfer of heat from one substance to a another substance that is Touching?
It is known as: conduction.
When heat is transferred to a substance describe why the temperature goes up?
The best answer is: Because heat has been transferred to the substance, and it now contains more of it.
Which insulation holds the heat the best?
Glass traps solar heat. Greenhouses are made of glass so they absorb heat for the plants.
Do all objects equally conduct or absorb heat?
No. The ability to conduct heat (known as thermal conductivty) is a unique property of a substance. Metals, for instance, typically conduct heat better than nonmetals. But diamond is the best thermal conductor of all. The ability to absorb heat (known as specific heat) is likewise unique for different substances.
The amount of energy involved in melting a substance without changing its temperature is called the?
It is called the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion.
If you were trying to find a substance that increases in temperature rapidly you should choose a substance with?
A substance with a low heat capacity.A substance with a low heat capacity.A substance with a low heat capacity.A substance with a low heat capacity.
