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.
![A glass beaker containing a sample of water is in a calorimeter. The beaker has a mass of 0.200 kg and the water has a mass of 1.45 kg. Both the beaker and water are at a temperature of 12.0°C. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.365 kg at 235°C into it. After some time, the sizzling subsides and the system reaches an
equilibrium temperature. (Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation don't affect the final temperature.)
What is the final equilibrium temperature of the system (in °C)?
°C
If you don't account for the beaker, would you expect the equilibrium temperature to be higher or lower?
O higher
O lower
Comparing the mass and specific heat of the beaker to those of the water, do you think the beaker will make much difference in the equilibrium temperature? Explain your answer.
O No, there won't be a large difference. The mass and specific heat of the beaker are small compared to water, so the beaker requires much more heat than water to increase its temperature and therefore has a small effect on the equilibrium temperature.
O Yes, there will be a large difference. The mass and specific heat of the beaker are small compared to water, so the beaker requires much less heat than water to increase its temperature and therefore has a large effect on the equilibrium temperature.
