can two objects at the same temperature have the same amount of heat?

2007-12-05 08:15:22 · 14 answers · asked by Grace K 1 in Science & Mathematics Chemistry

also, can you explain WHY two objects at the same temperature can have the same amount of heat?

and please explain this on the molecular level. I'm looking for an answer dealing with kinetic energy, potential energy, etcetera... we're learning about it in science class and i don't understand it.

Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules.

Yes

Temperature, properly, is an amount, a number (with units such as Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin).

Heat is a type of energy, the application of which will raise the temperature.

not likely.the texture of both items may vary by the amount of density each have.the difference between heat and temperature is this.heat is equal to warmth of the object being heated and the temperature is the of current temp.

what if one object has 100 times the mass of the other

will it not have more heat? even though the same temperature?

temperature, to me, would be the measure

heat would be the source to raise the temperature

Yes. This is because temperature is the measure of heat.

Temperature is a method of measurement of heat, so yes.

depends on the two substances being used....iron at 400 degrees will give off more heat then for example aluminum...thats why most grill with coal bricketts and not normal coal...actual coal burns too hot...brickets only hae coal flakes in them....they are both the same temp but straight coal gives off more heat....

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT HEAT IS GIVEN OFF BY OUR BODIES WHEN IT GOES 2 DEGREES OVER THE NORMAL TEMPERATURE 98.6 F. AND TEMPERATURE IS WHAT WE FEEL IT IS EITHER COLD OR HOT AND WE EITHER SHRIVER/GIVE OFF HEAT. SO REMEMBER HEAT IS GIVEN OFF BY OUR BODY AND TEMPERATURE IS WHAT WE FEEL.
HOPE THE TEMPERATURE IS NOT KEEPING YOU UNDER THE WHEATHER!!!

heat is energy while temp is parameter which measures it
yes
as heat=(mass*specific heat of material*temp)
