To help prevent frost damage, 6.7 kg of water at 0°C is sprayed onto a fruit tree. Hint How much heat transfer out of water occurs as the water freezes? Total Correct kJ of heat is transferred from the water. How much would the temperature of the 155-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the average specific heat of tree to be 3.45 kJ/kg·°C, ignoring any phase change within the tree. The temperature of tree would decrease by
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
