Question
what is the difference between heat and temperature?
match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.
reset h
the energy transferred from
one object to another
temperature is
.
a measure of the potential
energy available to molecules
heat is
.
a measure of the kinetic
energy of molecular motion
the energy stored in chemical
bonds
To solve this, we recall the definitions of heat and temperature:
- Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of molecular motion. So "a measure of the kinetic energy of molecular motion" matches Temperature.
- Heat is the transfer of energy between objects due to temperature difference. So "the energy transferred from one object to another" matches Heat. The other options: "a measure of the potential energy available to molecules" is not related, and "the energy stored in chemical bonds" is chemical potential energy, not heat/temperature.
