Question

describing properties of thermal energy transfer
based on what you have learned about the units for measuring thermal energy, complete the following passage.
the unit often used in chemistry and physics to measure energy, such as for work or electrical current, is the
. we can also use this unit, as we did in this lab, for measuring
. this is a property that is quantified by the energy needed per
of material to raise the temperature by one
. the unit for this measure is therefore
.

Explanation:

The unit for measuring energy in chemistry and physics is the joule. Specific - heat capacity is the energy per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin), and its unit is joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/(kg·°C)) or joules per kilogram per Kelvin (J/(kg·K)).

Answer:

The unit often used in chemistry and physics to measure energy, such as for work or electrical current, is the joule. We can also use this unit, as we did in this lab, for measuring specific - heat capacity. This is a property that is quantified by the energy needed per kilogram of material to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). The unit for this measure is therefore J/(kg·°C) (or J/(kg·K)).
