If the boiling point of a certain amount of a liquid is 150 degrees then what is the boiling point of twice that amount of the liquid?

The boiling point of twice the amount of liquid will remain 150 degrees. The boiling point of a substance is determined by the chemical properties of the substance itself, rather than the quantity of the substance.


What properties of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes 1 mass 2 volume 3 temperature?

The mass of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes. The temperature of a substance does not change when the amount of the substance changes. However, the volume of a substance may change when the amount of the substance changes, depending on the conditions.


What is a substance that has a specific heat?

Every substance has a specific heat. The definition of specific heat is: The amount of energy, usually measured in calories, needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a certain substance by one degree Celsius.


Average amount of energy of motion in the molecules of a substance?

The average amount of energy of motion in the molecules of a substance is known as the substance's temperature. This energy is measured in units of kinetic energy. The higher the temperature, the greater the average energy of motion in the molecules.


Heat capacity is the amount of heat need to raise?

Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount, usually one degree Celsius or Kelvin. It is a physical property that varies depending on the substance being heated.

Is the amount of substance in a certain volume the pressure?

No, the pressure is the force exerted by the substance on the walls of its container. The word that comes to mind for "amount of substance in a certain volume" is concentration, though it might also be a somewhat awkward way of describing density.The amount of substance in a certain volume is the density of the substance. Pressure means the force applied in a unit area. So the amount of substance in a certain volume is not the pressure.


Is Temperature is a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?

Temperature is not a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance. It is the measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.


You apply the same amount of heat to five grams of substance a and five grams of substance b the temperature of both substances increase by the same amount what can you conclude?

You can conclude that both substances have the same specific heat capacity. This means that they require the same amount of energy to change their temperature by a certain amount.


What is the amount of change in the thermal energy of a certain mass of a substance per degree of cahange in temperature?

That is called the specific heat.
