24
Q

A property of a substance that tells us how much heat is needed to raise the temp of one kg by 1’C

A

Specific heat

25
Q

The branch of physics that deals with heat and energy

Thermodynamics

26
Q

The lowest possible temp where molecules have the lowest energy they can have; 0 K on the temp scale

A

Absolute zero

27
Q

The movement of heat or electricity through something without moving it

A

Conduction

28
Q

The measurement of kinetic energy of individual atoms

A

Temperature

29
Q

The expansion of material with an increase in temp and the contraction with a decrease in temp

A

Thermal Expansion

30
Q

An apparatus for measuring the amount of heart involved in a chemical reaction or other process

A

Calorimeter

31
Q

the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

A

Convection

32
Q

the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, esp. high-energy particles that cause ionization.

A

Radiation

33
Q

The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion. The rapidly moving particles constantly collide with each other and with the walls of the container.

A

Kinetic molecular theory
