Temperature is the amount (or lack thereof) thermal energy contained in a mass. Heat is a type of energy. also known as thermal energy.

Define heat energy?

Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a difference in temperature. It flows from an object at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.


In your own words define the term heat?

Heat....Okay. Heat. Heat is a temperature usually above a certain level.


Does gas form from heat?

Yes it does. But remember how you define 'heat': There are a lot of gasses existing on this planet at or even below room temperature, such as the air that you breathe.


Define 1 joule heat?

1 Joule heat is the the temperature of 1 g of water by 0.24 K. the typical energy released as heat by a person at rest, every 1/60th of a second.


Define isothermal expansion?

Isothermal expansion is what keeps gas at a constant temperature. It works by absorbing heat in order to conserve energy.


Define heat of compression and explain how it is computed?

Heat of compression refers to the increase in temperature that occurs when a gas or air is compressed. It is computed using the formula: Q = mCp(T2-T1), where Q is the heat of compression, m is the mass of the gas, Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure, T1 is the initial temperature, and T2 is the final temperature after compression.


Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?

Latent heat of vapourisation can be define as the rate by which water is heat to vapourise, it has a difference with evaporation because evaporation occurs directly when the water start heatin while vapourisation always start in a specific temperature


Define endothermic and exothermic reaction in terms of sign of?

Endothermic are those which take heat so the sign of energy released will be negative and of change in heat is whcih is equal to heat of product - heat of reactant so in this case Hp - hR = -ve


Define heat and thermodynamics?

My answer about heat is that heat is a form of energy which causes the sensation of hotness and coldness.And thermo dynamic is one of the characteristics resulting from the conversion of heat into other forms of energy.


Define heat of work and how it is computed?

Define Heat of Work and Explain how it is computed.Heat of Work (HOW) is the the amount of heat added to refrigerant during the compression process. The heat content of the refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor (high-side) is subtracted from the heat content at the inlet of the compressor (low-side). The unit of measurement is in Btu/lbAnswerThere is no such thing as 'heat of work'. Heat and work are two different, but related, things. 'Heat' describes energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature, whereas 'work' describes energy in transit when one form of energy is converted into another form. The difference between work and heat is a measure of the rise in the internal energy of an object.


How is temperature the same as heat?

Temperature measures heat.


Is heat the temperature of a reaction?

No, heat is an energy where the temperature is not.
