Heat causes physical changes in matter by changing?
Typically heat changes the STATE of matter from solid to liquid to gas.However, heat can also cause chemical changes for example combustion.
What does the decomposition of organic matter by heat describe?
Pyrolysis
How does the vacuum in the flask used to store liquid nitrogen prevent heat transfer?
I believe that since the vacuum is absent of matter, there is not matter to which the heat of the outside of the container can pass on its heat. In other words, if there was air inside the tude instead of a vacuum, the hotter outside of the container would make the air hot inside the walls of the container, so thus the hot air would make the inside of the container hot too. This is like a chain of heat, as the heat moves from matter to matter, bbut the vacuum limits the matter in the chaing, so less heat is passed onto the nitrogen.
What method of heat transfer is known as conduction?
No,the transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluid is called convection.
What must you always do to get matter to change phases?
add or take away heat.
Is heat from a Bunsen burner atomic matter?
No. Heat is not matter.
Is heat matter or non matter?
Everything that has substance is matter. Heat doesn't have substance, so it is not matter. Therefore it is Non-Matter.
Are air and heat both matter?
Air is matter but heat is energy.
Is a heat light matter?
No. Heat and light are forms of energy, not matter.
What affects matter?
heat affects matter by melting frozen items. example: ice + heat= matter
Is not an example of matter heat water vapor smoke air?
Heat is not matter.
Why heat not a matter?
Heat does not occupie space, and does not have definite volume, so it is not a matter!!!!^_^
Can matter receive energy?
Energy, such as light, are not matter since they cannot be touched or felt.
Does ultraviolet light carry heat?
In some circumstances, ultraviolet light may inteact with matter to produce heat, but it does not carry heat. Heat is carried by matter in motion since heat (temperature) is a characteristic of matter.
Does heat travel in a vacuum?
Lets look at a vacuum and heat. Heat is the treansfer of energy from one piece of matter to another. A vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat cannot transfer in a vacuum because there must be matter in close proximity to other matter for heat to travel.
Does all matter have heat energy?
Yes all matter does have some heat energy in it
Is heat of combustion a chemical property of matter?
Heat of combustion is a chemical property of matter.
