CES 1.1 Heat

Chemistry in the Earth System Unit 1.1 Heat Essential Question: How are heat, temperature, and thermal energy related, and how does energy transfer affect matter? This is a synthesis of the following Essential Question covered individually by Discovery Education: What Is Heat? What Is the Difference between Thermal Energy and Temperature? How Can Problems Involving Conversions between Joules, Calories, and Kilocalories Be Solved? How Does Thermal-Energy Transfer (Heat) Cause Substances to Change State? How Can Two Objects of Different Masses Have the Same Temperature But Different Amounts of Thermal Energy? What Are Some Examples That Show How Thermal Energy Is Transferred By Means of Conduction, Convection, and Radiation? How Can Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy Help Solve Calorimetry Problems?
