Effect of temperature on specific heat of material?
The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.
Where does the wind begin?
Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure: it doesn't have a specific origin.
What temperature does water condensed and turn into a gas?
This is not a cut and dry answer. The temperature that water evaporates to a gas and conversely condenses to a liquid is dependent on air pressure. Liquid boiling points can also be affected by impurities in the liquid, depending on the concentration of impurities. Thus in a pressure cooker water boils at a much higher temperature that it would under normal atmospheric pressure. This is also why you can't make a decent cup of tea on the summit of Everest because water boils at about 71 degrees Celsius at that reduced atmospheric pressure. So it is impossible to give a specific figure for this question.
What is the relationship between temperature and heating energy?
The temperature of an object is directly proportional to the amount of heat energy it contains. And changing the temperature of an object, therefore, means changing the heat energy it contains. But the temperature is also dependant on the object's mass, and a property of the material called the specific heat. Specific heat is the the heat per unit mass that corresponds to a unit temperature (e.g. 1 degree) for the particular material. For example, liquid water's specific heat is 1 calorie per gram per degree celcius, or 1 cal/g∙°C. More about water: - For every 0.57 btu's* heat added to one pound of ice will raise the temperature of the ice 1°F at atmospheric pressure, up to 32°F. - For every 144 btus added to ice at 32°F and 1 atmosphere, one pound of ice will melt with no change in temperature. - For every btu of heat added to 1 pound of water the temperature will rise 1°F at atmospheric pressure, from 32°F to 212°F - For every 972.3 btus of heat added to water at 212°F and atmospheric pressure, 1 pound of water will be evaporated. - For every 0.47 btus of heat added to 1 pound of steam at atmospheric pressure the temperature will rise 1°F. * For metric units: 1 gram = 0.00220462 pounds, 252 calories = 1 btu, and 1°C = 1.8°F, with temperature of fusion at 0°C and temperature of evaporation at 100°C More generally, if we consider Q as heat energy in an object, then ΔQ is a change in that energy, and take the mass of a substance as m and the specific heat (at constant volume) as Cv and t2 and t1 are final and initial temperatures, then we get the following equation:- ΔQ=m∙Cv∙(t2-t1)
Are temperature and thermal heat the same thing?
No temperature is a specific measurement of heat. Thus at a temperature of absolute zero there is no heat but there is a temperature measurement.
In what massive database would you expect to find the daily temperature of the water in a specific coastal region?
An oceanic and atmospheric database
Why do different form of precipitation fall?
There are several different forms of atmospheric precipitation. The most commonly thought of being rain, hail, sleet, snow, and fog. Different forms of precipitation fall due to varying atmospheric pressures and temperature within specific segments of the atmosphere.
What determines the upper and lower fixed points of a thermometer?
Upper fixed point is the temperature of pure water boiling at normal atmospheric pressure.Lower fixed point is the temperature of a mixture of pure ice and pure water at normal atmospheric pressure. Each thermometer has a scale containing an upper and lower fixed points depending on the use of this thermometer for specific measurements.
How do you become an atmospheric chemist?
Specific schools do offer atmospheric chemistry programs for undergraduates. One of the schools that does is Stony Brook University in New York.
Why does water boil at a specific boiling temperature?
It is the temperature at which enough heat energy has been put into the molecules, overpowering the hydrogen bonding between molecules. Water at the atmospheric pressure of sea level boils at 100 degrees Celsius (or 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 373.15 degrees Kelvin).
Effect of temperature on specific heat of material?
The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.
Where does the wind begin?
Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure: it doesn't have a specific origin.
What is specific temperature?
Specific temperature is an amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
When a woman says i appreciate you?
When a women says she appreciates you this means she is thankful for you. If she says a specific thing like; I appreciate your friendship, I appreciate you calling me today, I appreciate the flowers you gave me today. There are many ways a woman can appreciate a man or another person as far as that goes, such as in a marriage, your wife might tell you she appreciates all the hard work you do to provide for our family.
How does specific heat of a substance relate to temperature change?
A substance with a high specific heat will easily change temperature.
What properties give water such a high specific temperature?
The polar properties of water give it such a high specific temperature.
How does the specific heat of a substance relate to temperature change?
A substance with a high specific heat will easily change temperature.
