<p>The law of energy conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. In heat transfer, the total amount of heat lost by the system is equal to the total amount of heat gained by the surroundings.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The internal energy of a system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of its particles. It is related to heat and work through the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system on its surroundings.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A coffee-cup calorimeter can measure heat changes by using its known heat capacity to determine the heat absorbed or released during a reaction. By monitoring temperature changes in the system, the calorimeter can calculate the heat exchanged based on the specific heat capacity and temperature change.</p> Signup and view all the answers
