Study Notes

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance, and it is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness.
Adding heat to a substance results in an increase in the kinetic energies of its molecules.
Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules, but it is not the same as heat energy.
Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules and the speed of the particles.
Heat energy depends on the speed, number, and type of particles in an object, while temperature does not depend on the size or type of the object.
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius, and it indicates how hot or cold an object is, but it does not represent the total energy of molecular motion in the substance.
When heat is added to a substance, some of it may be used to change the state of the substance (e.g., melting or boiling), and the remainder is available for work.
The temperature change (δT) of a substance can be calculated using the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change.
