If the boiling point of a certain amount of a liquid is 150 degrees then what is the boiling point of twice that amount of the liquid?
The temperature at which the substance boils is the temperature at which it boils. It's not the temperature at which any certain amount of it boils.
Does density describe the amount of mass contain in a certain space?
Density is the ratio between the mass and volume, at a given temperature.
What properties of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes 1 mass 2 volume 3 temperature?
temperature
What is a substance that has a specific heat?
Every substance has a specific heat. The definition of specific heat is: The amount of energy, usually measured in calories, needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a certain substance by one degree Celsius.
Average amount of energy of motion in the molecules of a substance?
Temperature!!!!
If the boiling point of a certain amount of a liquid is 150 degrees then what is the boiling point of twice that amount of the liquid?
The temperature at which the substance boils is the temperature at which it boils. It's not the temperature at which any certain amount of it boils.
What is specific heat a measure of?
The amount of energy it takes to change the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. How much energy it takes to heat a substance ~APEX
How does heat is differ from temperature?
heat differs because temperature is the amount of coldness and hotness it is in a certain area. and heat is the substance that temperature measures
Is Temperature is a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?
Temperature is not a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance. It is the measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.
What is the amount of change in the thermal energy of a certain mass of a substance per degree of cahange in temperature?
That is called the specific heat.
What is the amount of change in the thermal energy of a certain mass of a substance per degree of change in temperature?
That is called the specific heat.
Is temperature an element?
No, temperature is the amount of thermal energy in a given amount of a substance.
Is the amount of substance in a certain volume the pressure?
No, the pressure is the force exerted by the substance on the walls of its container. The word that comes to mind for "amount of substance in a certain volume" is concentration, though it might also be a somewhat awkward way of describing density.The amount of substance in a certain volume is the density of the substance. Pressure means the force applied in a unit area. So the amount of substance in a certain volume is not the pressure.
Does temperature affect the amount of substance dissolved in a saturated solution?
Yes temperature affects the amount of substance dissolved in a saturated solution.
Does density describe the amount of mass contain in a certain space?
Density is the ratio between the mass and volume, at a given temperature.
What is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a certain mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius?
The heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a defined amount of pure substances by one degree (Celsius or Kelvin). The calorie was defined so that the heat capacity of water was equal to one.
Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
