Which substance would you expect to heat up most quickly?
I'm not sure if you're asking for a specific element or substance, but I would say that a small substance with a lot of surface area would heat up very quickly.
What is the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance?
Heat
Describe what is meant by specific heat?
More or less in all biological systems. For example the high specific heat capacity helps to cool us through sweat, and it also helps to maintain a steady temperature of many biological systems. In industries, the high specific heat capacity of water helps to take away a huge amount of heat so it is used as a coolant in many industrial processes; for example in cooling some kinds of nuclear reactors.
Why do substance expand when heat energy is added to them?
Heat is a measurement of the amount of motion (or kinetic energy) of the particles of which a given substance is composed. In a solid, this motion is just a vibration, since the particles remain in place. When particles vibrate more, they will take up more space. In a gas, the particles move independently of each other, and if they move faster, they will exert more pressure and thus will tend to expand.
The particular rate at which a material warms up upon absorbing heat is a what property that can be used to identify a substance?
Physical.
What does a calorimeter use the increase in water temperature for?
Measure the heat given up to the water by another substance
What are the similarities for freezing and melting?
They occur at the same temperature for a given substance just depends which direction the heat is flowing (up in the product or out into the surrounding area/substance).
How does heat depend on a mass of a substance?
The heat depends on the mass of a substance as there are more particles to heat up. When one particle is given energy from the heat, it moves around on it's fixed point (in a solid). When it touches the next particle, the energy is passed along warming the object up right the way through. This is called conduction.
What is the name given to heat energy at melting point?
The heat energy required to change a substance between solid & liquid at constant temperature is called the "latent heat of fusion". If the change is from solid to liquid the substance gains this energy. If the change is from liquid to solid the substance gives up this energy. The exact amount of latent heat of fusion is different for different substances.
How does increasing the heat energy of a substance change the behavior of particles of the substance?
They speed up.
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.
What should be used to remove heated to heated objects?
When a substance is heated up, it emit heat radiation. In such way substance keep on losing heat energy. Thus a way that increase heat losing can lower heat of substance. Water can used as heat absorber.
Which warms up slower and holds it heat longer water or land?
Given equal volumes and equal temperature changes without any change of state, no substance requires as much heat for a given temperature increase or expels as much heat during the equivalent temperature decrease than water.
What is it called when heat breaks up a substance?
Thermal Decomposition
What happens if heat transfers through a graduated cylinder?
Well that depends, if you have substance within the cylinder, then the substance will begin to heat up due to the transfer of heat. But if you don't have anything within the cylinder then the cylinder will heat up on its own and might melt if you apply enough heat.
What do you call that does not conduct heat?
it will heat up more more
What turns solids in to liquid?
Solids turn into liquids when you melt or heat- up the substance for a curtian amount of time. If you boil or 'heat up' the substance for too long than it may turn into a gas.
