What to Focus On

  • Heat is energy in transit due to temperature difference.
  • Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.
  • Temperature measures the average internal kinetic energy of molecules.

  • SI unit of heat is joule.
  • 1 cal = 4.186 J, approximately 4.2 J.
  • A calorie is defined using 1 g of water and a rise from 14.5°C to 15.5°C.

  • Heat depends on mass.
  • Heat depends on the material.
  • Heat depends on temperature change.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature are the same thing.

A calorie is the heat needed to raise 1 g of any substance by 1°C.

Heat capacity and specific heat capacity are the same thing.

Memory Tips
