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.
