How many ways can you see that heat can transfer from the inside to the outside of your home on a cold day? List at least three
and describe in detail how heat moves through the different kinds of materials (glass, brick, wood, insulation, etc.)—by conduction, convection or radiation. Which process do you suppose dominates? Explain your reasoning.
Answer: Heat transfers through brick walls and glass through conduction. In conduction heat is transferred by vibration of molecules. most energetic molecules vibrate and pass on the energy to less energetic molecules. Then they vibrate and further pass on the energy. In this way heat is transferred out of the home. Heat also transfers through the leakage of warm air from doors and windows. This occurs through convection. In convection energy is transferred through bulk movement of liquid and air molecules. Heat also transfers from insulation. in insulation there is no material in between the layers. So heat transfer through insulation occurs through radiations that occurs by X-Rays, Ultravoilet rays etc.
Hi there! When a chemical Reaction happens, the tell tale signs are as listed: ~The chemical produces bubbles ~ The Chemical emits an odor ~ The liquid forms a solid(Precipitate) ~ There is a change of color ~ And last but not least a change in temperature!
