How would you calculate the amount of of heat absorbed or released by a substance when its temperature changes?

The heat released can be calculated using a calorimeter. Measure the initial and final temperatures and use the equation Q=mc(change in T). Where Q is heat, m is mass, and c is heat capacity.

What is black principle?
The amount of heat released by the substance with higher temperature is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the substance with lower temperature. The statement is often called "THE BLACK's PRINCIPLE".
Energy is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction Explain where the energy released or absorbed by the reactions comes from or goes to?
Energy released by a chemical reaction is released as heat to the surroundings thus rising the temperature of the room or lab etc where the reaction is taking place. Similarly, energy absorbed by endothermic is either supplied by external heating of reaction mixture over a flame or absorbed from surroundings.
To calculate the energy released within a calorimeter the volume temperature change and specific heat capacity of water must be known is this true or false?
that will be true
When liquid water freezes into ice energy is absorbed or released or not involved?
Energy is released.
What is it called when a substance releases energy to its surroundings?
There are two ways that a substance ( called the System ) may release energy to the Surroundings :( 1 ) Heat may be released by heat transfer from the System to the Surroundings. Heat transfer from the System to the Surroundings requires the System temperature to exceed the temperature of the Surroundings and the presence of one or more heat transfer modes ( conduction, convection, and/or radiation.( 2 ) Work done by the System of on the Surroundings corresponding to a force moving through a distance, such as when the substance expands. Substance confined to a cylinder with a piston may expand, doing work on the Surroundings.

What is a latent heat energy levels?
Latent heat- the amount of heat required by a system/ substance to change phase. It's also heat absorbed or radiated during a change of phase at a constant temperature and pressure.
How do you calculate enthalpy change by bomb calorimeter?
The formula is Ek= CΔt C is the heat capacity of the bomb calrimitor (sometimes given in question so don't worry, or you may be given the other variables and be expected to find C) T is the temperature (initial and final) 1. Find the E absorbed (released) by the container. Ek= CΔt 2. Use the Principal of heat transfer. Ep reaction = -Ek calorimeter 3. Find E released (absorbed) by the reaction. (Ep = nΔΗ)
When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas energy is . When a substance changes from a gas to a liquid energy is .?
When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas energy is absorbed. When a substance changes from a gas to a liquid energy is released.
What is the definition for latent heat of melting?
The amount of heat released / absorbed from a substance at constant temperature as you change state from liquid->solid / solid->liquid.
What science process extract heat?
Well, to extract heat from something means to take energy away from it. It depends on the phase of the substance (whether it is a solid, a liquid or a gas.) When a gas becomes a liquid, heat energy is being released. Likewise with a liquid to a solid. To calculate the heat energy which is absorbed or extracted from a substance, use the equation :Q=(m)(c)(final temperature - initial temperature)where q = energy, m=mass, c=specific heat capacity (for water, its 4.18), and determine the difference of the two temperatures. If and only if the answer is negative, heat energy has been released.
How much energy is released when a substance is cooled to its original temperature?
It depends on it's original temperature and how much it was heated.
What is it called when absorbed light energy is released by matter?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
What is difference between released chemical energy and absorbed chemical energy?
When chemical energy is released, it is released to the environment in the form of heat. This heat can be felt and measured. When a reaction results in an increase in temperature, energy has been released (it gets hot), and you have an exothermic reaction. When chemical energy is absorbed, it is taken from the environment. This causes a decrease in the temperature of the surroundings. Energy has been absorbed from the environment around the reaction (it gets cold), and you have an endothermic reaction.
What heat is absorbed or released when a substance changes states?
absorbed: endothermic released: exothermic however, substances rarely do this when changing state ()i.e solid to liquid etc() but it is common in chemical reactions ()Lithium+water for example()
How much heat does methane trap?
It is not clear what you mean by 'trap'. It contains chemical energy which can be released by burning, giving 55.5 MJ per kg. You may however be referring to the ability of the substance to absorb heat, i.e. its heat capacity. This is the amount of energy absorbed when the temperature of the substance increases by 1 degree Kelvin. This is 2.087 kJ/kgK at 200 K. (It varies a little with temperature.)
What has got more or less energy between endothermic and exothermic?
Any substance when undergoes a phase change heat is either absorbed or released The reaction in which heat is absorbed known as an endothermic reaction and in which the heat energy is released, is known as exothermic reaction. DKK
