Students learn to distinguish between heat and temperature. Thermochemistry: Students learn to distinguish between heat and temperature and to define and calculate specific heat capacity. They then ...

The relationship used to determine the heat energy required to change the state of a substance is: \(E_{h} = ml\) \(E_{h}\) is the energy required to change the state ( \(J\)) \(l\) is the specific ...

An electric heater supplies 13500 joules of heat energy to a metal block of mass \(0.5kg\). The temperature of the block rises from \(20^{\circ}C\) to \(80^{\circ}C\) during the heating process.

The use of nanocomposites, which use small-scale particle fillers to enhance the characteristics of thermoplastics and thermosets, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For instance, ...
