Heat is not a "thing," it is not transferred from object to object. Instead, when an object is cold, its molecules vibrate slower than when it is warm. When a warm object comes in contact with ice, the fast-moving molecules of the warm object transfer some energy to the ice. This is why the ice warms up, and the warm object cools off (due to losing some of its molecules' energy).

What happens to liquid water when you add heat?

When you add heat to liquid water it gets warm. If it gets warm enough it will boil and evaporate.

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 happens to the thermal energy if you drop an ice cube in a warm drink and it melts?

As water and ice have different temperatures, if we add them together then there will be an exchange of heat, due to which ice starts melting and water becomes cold. The heat required to melt the molecules of ice is provided by the molecules of water and this heat is the latent heat of fusion.


How does adding or subtracting heat affect temperature?

Adding heat energy usually warms a substance, and subtracting heat energy usually cools the substance. heat energy only moves from a hot substance to a cool substance. Example: a pan on the stove could be room temperature, but once you put it on the flame, the heat from the flame transfers to the cooler pan, heating it up.Additional answerIn some cases adding heat energy does not raise the temperature but moves the substance from one phase to another. For example, if you add heat energy to ice you melt it and it becomes water at the same temperature. If you continue adding heat energy then, of course, that water then gets warmer.


Is temperature a form of energy?

Temperature is not a form of energy, but a measurement of energy (specifically, heat energy). You can't add temperature to a substance, because every substance already has a temperature, whether it be at -50o C or 900o C. However, you can add heat to change the temperature.


How does adding or removing heat to a system result in of temperature or change in state?

then the temperature either goes up or down. When you add heat to a substance the substance normally spreads out more for on a subatomic level the atoms vibrate more. Gases have a larger volume at the same pressure and fluids can increase in volume too. Solids normally expand. The opposite to the above is true with a decrease in temperature. It is good to note that if you melt ice it decreases in volume which is proof that heat dose not always expand the substance.

Can you conserve heat released in a refrigerator?

As refrigerators give off heat from the back, the only real way to conserve the heat from it is to use it in a room that is already cold. Thus using the heat from the heat exchange on the back to add to any heat source in the room. This will not act as a heater for the room but may help to maintain the temperature very slightly when the heating is turned off.


How do you make lukewarm milk?

Warm cold milk slightly is one way to make it lukewarm. Or leave the too warm milk to cool to lukewarm. Or add cold milk to reduce the too warm milk to lukewarm. I'm not sure whether the question is actually about pasteurising raw milk?
