How can you decrease the thermal energy off a can of soup just taken out of your pantry?

If you just want to decrease temperature of the can, you could:
- run cold water over the can
- put the can in a bowl of icecubes
- put the can outside during cold temps, or plop it into snow
You could also dump the soup into a container, leaving just the can which would cool the metal faster than if the soup remained inside the can. Then you could cool both the inside and outside of the metal at the same time, rapidly decreasing the temp.

What happens when energy is taken away?
What happens when thermal energy is taken away
What happens is energy is taken away from matter?
When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.
Can an object have heat and thermal energy?
The answer is "partly". Thermal energy consists of the average kinetic energy of the particles (how much they move around, bumping into things and each other) and the average potential energy of the particles (tough to picture - how much they "shake back and forth", or oscillate, from their normal, resting position).
Does energy decrease or increase during a chemical reaction?
Energy is only made not taken away. But during a chemical reaction, it depends on what kind of chemicals you put in there.
How is temperature differ from thermal energy?
Thermal Energy is theTOTAL Ek of atoms in a substance.Temperature is the measure of the AVERAGE Ek of the atoms in a substance.Thermal energy: The total amount of kinetic energy contained in all the particles of a substance. The greater the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance, the more thermal energy the substance has. But thermal energy also depends on the number of particles in a substance. The more particles a substance contains, the greater its thermal energy.Temperature vs. Heat :When you think of temperature, you probably think "hot" or "cold." To scientists, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The more kinetic energy the particles have, the higher the temperature of the substance. Unlike thermal energy, however, temperature is not affected by the number of particles the substance contains.(Taken from: Sciencesaurus A Student Handbook Pp. 301-302)
Why doesnt temperature change when transferring from ice too water?
The thermal energy required to change state is taken from the environment; which in this case is the melt water.
Does sublimation lose or gain thermal energy?
When a solid substance gains enough thermal energy, it melts.When we consider Solutions, say Ice in Water, we see both - simultaneously the melting ice gains thermal energy from the water while the water loses thermal energy to the ice body.
Explain why you can step out of the shower into a warm bathroom and begin to shower?
because this means you have vapor or steam that is let out of your skin. then the vapor is released and cooled and you feel cold. also because the thermal energy is being taken away ffrom your body in the cooling state. these are the effects of kinetic and potenial energy working inside the thermal energy.
What is the percentage decrease when 120 is taken away from 1500?
8% decrease.
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
Will the temperature in a reaction always go up?
Exo- means out Endo- means in. In an Exothermic reaction thermal energy is released (goes out) and in an Endothermic reaction Thermal energy is taken up, transferring into chemical energy (goes in). So, to answer your question, no, the temperature does not go up in both an exothermic and an endothermic reaction.
How thermal evaporation takes place?
Thermal evaporation takes place in the following manner: The material to be evaporated is taken in a crucible (usually called as boat) and the material is melted by heating the system up to the melting point of that material ,the material evaporates and gets sticks on the substrate (usually glass)
