What substances have the lowest heat capacity?
Plastics.
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
Do amorphous substances possess definite heat of fusion?
yes it does
Does aluminium swell?
No, although it does expand with heat as do most substances.
When you the particles do this to any substances the particles gain Energy?
heat
Metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities than nonmetallic substances?
yes metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities
What happens to the amount of radiation a radioactive substance emits when you heat it up or cool it down?
when you heat up or cool down radioactive substances, nothing changes how much radiation it emits.
What are heat conductors and heat insulators?
the substances that allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat conductors. the substances that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat insulators. ruchi
Does the difference in the level of heat between two substances determine the heat transfer rate between the substances?
true
What happens when two substances that have different temperatures touch each other heat moves from one to the other by what?
Heat transfer by contact is called conduction.
Why do substances with large heat capacities make good heat storing substances?
Because of large heat capacities temperature rise will be very low so large amount of heat can be stored.
Bad conductor of heat?
Substances that Don't have the capacity to carry heat
What are goods and bads?
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
When chemical energy is converted into thermal energy what happens?
The chemicals split from each other to become more elemental substances, while giving off a lot of heat
What are combustible substances?
The substances that can react with oxygen and give out heat and light i.e., undergo combustion are called combustible substances.
What substances have the lowest heat capacity?
Plastics.
The absorption of heat by any substances is dependent upon?
its specific heat capacity
