What is thermal energy

The total kinetic energy of the particles in a system

What is thermodynamics

the study of the movement of energy and heat.

or

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics concerned with the conversion of different energy forms.

•DeltaG (rxn) = DeltaG (pdts) - DeltaDG (rcts) •DeltaG°(rxn) = -R T ln K •

Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity

Lithium is the metal that has the highest specific heat capacity.

Is plastic a thermal conductor or insulator

It is a thermal insulator

What is the first law of thermodynamics also known as

The first law is also known as law of conservation of energy. It say that the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transferred. Its is given by this equation dQ = dU + dW .

How does the phase of water affect its specific heat capacity

Liquid water has the highest specific heat capacity.

What does the field of thermodynamics relate to

Changes in energy in systems

How does the specific heat of water affect climate

it makes the coastal weather milder.

Which of the following would have the best thermal conductor properties

A cup made of metal. (Apex)

Which of the following is the best thermal insulator APEX

Air

(Explanation): water has a high specific heat capacity, but it can boil. stone (😂) also is a good thermal insulator, but it can get really hot. Metal is a very good thermal conductor, so it is definitely not that. Therefore, air is the best (its also really hard to boil).
