You are very particular about the proper temperature needed to make tea. The proper temperature for your favorite tea is 183.4°F. When you are at home in Kentucky (near sea level), this is no problem. You have long ago figured out how much ice to add to your boiling water in order to achieve the appropriate temperature. During your vacation to Denver, however, this is a huge problem. When you tried to make your tea, it came out tasting horrible (to a tea snob). Your insulated teapot holds 0.9 L of boiling water before you add any ice. How much ice should you add to make the perfect pot of tea?
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.
