How much heat does it take to raise the temperature of a substance one degree?
The amount of heat required is called the specific sensible heat for the substance. Sensible, in this context, means something which can be sensed. This is in contrast to latent heat which is used to change the phase of a substance without a change in temperature.
What units are used to measure heat flow?
BTU/hrA British Thermal Unit is:1. The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 60° to 61°F at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.2. The quantity of heat equal to 1/180 of the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 32° to 212°F at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.
What liquid would be the most difficult to raise and lower the temperature of?
One with a high heat capacity
Under what conditions heat can be given to a substance without raising its temperature?
If the substance is in solid condition and at the melting temperature, heat can be given without rising the temperature. Then the substance melts and all the heat will be used in the melting process. Also when the substance is at the boiling temperature you can add heat without rising the temperature. At that point the heat is used to vaporate the substance.
What is the metric unit of temperature?
We use Fahrenheit. In Europe they use Celsius degrees. The Kelvin is the metric unit.
How are 25000 calories of heat were used to raise rhe temperature of 400g of water to 82.5C what was the initial temp of the water?
Normally, ambient.

What is the substance in a digital thermometer that tells us the temperature?
I don't think any substance is used in digital thermometer but according to my views "HEAT SENSORS" are used to measure the temperature.
What liquid would be the most difficult to raise and lower the temperature of?
One with a high heat capacity
How is specific heat capacity different from temperature?
Specific heat capacity or simply specific heat (S) and be defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a body of mass 1 kg by 1 degree Celsius . S=J/Kg oc Whereas, heat capacity or heat added simply (may be Q) is the ratio of heat absorbed by the body of 1 kg mass by 1 degree celsius. Q=SMθ N.B. M= Mass, θ = oC (rise in temperature.
What is used to find the specific heat capacity of a substance?
The equation for specific heat is: C = q/temp. change x mass. C is a substance's specific heat, which is a constant for every substance. q is its heat capacity in joules, temp. change is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius, and mass is in grams.
What is thermal capacity?
The physical quantity which is used to measure the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a given substance is known as heat capacity or thermal capacity. Its S.I. unit is J/K.
Is temperature different than heat?
Yes, quite different. . . . .Temperature is used to measure heat.
How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?
Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.
How do units that are used to measure heat are different from the units that are used to measure temperature?
Heat is measured in calories or BTU, whilst temperature is measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.1 calorie is the heat to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree C1 BTU is the heat to raise 1 pound of water by 1 degree FHeat is the amount of energy in a system measured in Joules. Temp is the MEASURE of the AVERAGE molecular motions in a system F/CAnother AnswerIn SI, heat is measured in joules and temperature in kelvin.
When liquid water is heated most of the energy that the water initially absorbs is used to do?
It is used to raise the temperature of the water.
