When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium<span> is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that </span>heat<span>flows from the hotter to the cooler object. </span><span>Heat is energy on the move.</span> <span>
</span>Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
A hurricane will weaken after making landfall.
That is only the combustion of a hydrocarbon. Rust is a combustion reaction because oxygen is added.
Fe(s) + O2(g) => FeO2(s)
<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2
S O3
Solve for x
x = +4</span>
