Which of the following statements about heat and temperature is correct?
medium Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand the properties of heat and temperature
Heat is energy transferred and depends on the amount of substance; temperature measures intensity and does not depend on quantity.Step 2: Evaluate each statement
Defining heat as measure of hotness confuses it with temperature. Claiming temperature as energy transferred reverses definitions. Stating same units is wrong (heat joules, temperature degrees). Heat depending on amount while temperature does not is correct.Final Answer:
Heat depends on the amount of substance; temperature does not → Option BQuick Check:
Heat depends on amount of substance; temperature does not ✅
Quick Trick: Heat varies with mass; temperature is independent of mass.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Mixing heat and temperature definitions or units.
