In your house, most heat is lost through the process of

Conduction

_______ is heat transferred through the motion of mass of a substance.

Convection

A temperature difference of 10 degrees Celsius is also equal to a temperature difference of 10 on the

Kelvin scale.

True or False: Heat is a form of energy.

True

The fact that desert sand is very hot in the day and very cold at night is evidence that sand has

a low specific heat.

A good heat conductor is

a poor insulator.

Substances absorb heat energy by the process of

conduction, convection, radiation

The first law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the

conservation of energy

Aluminum has a specific heat capacity more than twice that of copper. Place equal masses of aluminum and copper wire in a flame and the one to undergo the fastest increase in temperature will be

copper

True or False: Temperature is a form of energy.

false

As a system becomes more disordered, entropy

increases

is a better insulator than tile.

Energy transfer by convection is primarily restricted to

liquids and gases.
