Answer:

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy. It is heat that will increase or decrease the temperature. If we add heat, the temperature will become higher. If we remove heat the temperature will become lower. Higher temperatures mean that the molecules are moving, vibrating and rotating with more energy. If we take two objects which have the same temperature and bring them into contact, there will be no overall transfer of energy between them because the average energies of the particles in each object are the same. But if the temperature of one object is higher than that of the other object, there will be a transfer of energy from the hotter to the colder object until both objects reach the same temperature.

Temperature is not energy, but a measure of it. Heat is energy.

Hope I helped :)

A sample of He gas (3.0 L) at 5.6 atm and 25°C was combined with 4.5 L of Ne gas at 3.6 atm and 25°C at constant temperature in
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3.6667

Explanation:

<u>For helium gas:</u>

Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 3.0 L

V₂ = 9.0 L

P₁ = 5.6 atm

P₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{5.6}\times {3.0}={P_2}\times {9.0} atm

{P_2}=\frac {{5.6}\times {3.0}}{9.0} atm

{P_1}=1.8667\ atm

<u>The pressure exerted by the helium gas in 9.0 L flask is 1.8667 atm</u>

<u>For Neon gas:</u>

Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 4.5 L

V₂ = 9.0 L

P₁ = 3.6 atm

P₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{3.6}\times {4.5}={P_2}\times {9.0} atm

{P_2}=\frac {{3.6}\times {4.5}}{9.0} atm

{P_1}=1.8\ atm

<u>The pressure exerted by the neon gas in 9.0 L flask is 1.8 atm</u>

<u>Thus total pressure = 1.8667 + 1.8 atm = 3.6667 atm.</u>

C. Why do people use Earth's motions to<br> determine units of time?
Sladkaya [172]

The people use Earth's motion to determine units of time because of its uniform motion which is consistent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In earlier days, people used to observe the motion of Earth to measure time. This is because, the Earth is moving at constant speed and at constant acceleration. So the change in position of the sun or stars can be easily correlated to the time.

Due to the consistency in the Earth's motion and the accurate repetition of the time period along with the seasons, the Earth's motion can be considered as a responsible source to determine the units of time.
