A block of mass m1 and specific heat c1 , at temperature θ1 , is brought into contact with a block of another material, with mass, specific heat and temperature, respectively m2 , c2 and θ2 . After establishing the thermal equilibrium between the two blocks, with c1 and c2 being constant and assuming that the heat exchanges with the rest of the universe are negligible, the final temperature θ should be equal to: options in the image
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
