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…

You will be defining a new temperature scale in 0X, in which the freezing and boiling points of water are one-hundred forty degrees X and one-thousand eighty-five 0X, respectively. Correlate this to Celsius or Fahrenheit scales. The 0X reading on this scale is a certain number of degrees on a corresponding absolute temperature scale. What is the corresponding absolute temperature at 00X?
