A person driving to work saw his neighbor’s house with a broken front door. He called 911 to alert the police and have it checked. A crime detective then arrived at 9:00 AM at the house and discovered a dead body in the master’s bedroom. He evaluated the temperature of the body, and the result is 80.0 ℉. Afterwards, police started checking for a possible murder angle through evidence collection. One hour later, the temperature of the body is checked again, and the reading is 75.0 ℉. If the room temperature is 70-degree F, evaluate the time for which the possible murder case took place. Assume a normal body temperature of 98.6 ℉.
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.
