No. It depends on the 'heat capacity' of the substance involved. That's why we use a hot "water" bottle to keep our feet warm in bed, and not a hot "alcohol" bottle, a hot "jello" bottle etc. Water is capable of holding a lot of heat. When you put 'X' amount of heat into water, its temperature doesn't go up as much as MOST other substances would with the same amount of added heat, so water is a very effective way of storing heat and carrying heat around from place to place.

What is a measure of quantity of heat?

The measure of quantity of heat is given by the unit calorie (cal) or joule (J). Heat is a form of energy that is transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.


What is heat quantity?

Heat quantity refers to the amount of thermal energy transferred between two objects due to a difference in temperature. It is usually measured in units of joules or calories. Heat quantity is commonly used to describe the amount of heat exchanged during a physical or chemical process.


What is the quantity of heat required to change an objects temperature to exactly 1 degree Celsius?

The quantity of heat required to change an object's temperature by 1 degree Celsius depends on its specific heat capacity and mass. The formula to calculate this is Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the object, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.


What happens when there is a temperature difference between tow objects?

If they are in close contact, the hot object transfers heat to the cold object until both objects are equal in temperature. After which the temperature loss is reduced at the same rate until both objects have cooled to ambient temperature (the temperature of the surrounding air). If they are not in close contact, then most of the heat is dispersed into the air.


When one object heats another does the temperature increase of on object always equal the temperature decrease of the other object?

No, the temperature increase of one object does not always equal the temperature decrease of the other object. This depends on the specific heat capacities of the objects and the amount of heat transferred between them. Heat transfer is influenced by many factors, so it is not a simple one-to-one relationship.

When thermal energy flows between two objects does the temperature increase of one's object always equal the temperature decrease the other?

No. The quantity of heat that flows out of one is equal to the quantity that flows into the other one, but the changes in temperature don't have to be equal. By the same analogous token, if you were to dip a glass of water out of an Olympic swimming pool, the level of water in the glass might rise 8 inches, but the level in the pool would not drop by too much.

No, the temperature increase of one object does not always equal the temperature decrease of the other object. This depends on the specific heat capacities of the objects and the amount of heat transferred between them. Heat transfer is influenced by many factors, so it is not a simple one-to-one relationship.


What is the flow of heat between two objects that are touching?

Heat flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature when they are in contact. This process continues until both objects reach thermal equilibrium, where their temperatures are equal.


Does heat transfer from objects with low temperature to objects with high temperature?

No.


When one object heats another does the temperature increase of one object always equal the temperature decrease of the other object?

No. You must take into account the mass of the objects AND the specific heat of the objects.


Does thermal equilibrium mean equal temperature?

Yes, thermal equilibrium means that two objects are at the same temperature and there is no net flow of heat between them.


Flow of heat between two objects are touching?

Heat flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature until they reach thermal equilibrium, where their temperatures become equal. This transfer occurs through conduction, where heat travels through direct contact between the two objects. The rate of heat transfer depends on the temperature difference between the objects and their thermal conductivity.


Can two objects have the same temparature but different heat?

Yes, two objects can have the same temperature but different heat because heat depends not only on temperature but also on the mass and specific heat capacity of the objects. Objects with different masses or specific heat capacities can have different amounts of heat energy even if they are at the same temperature.
