Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

This means that the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of copper by 1°C equals 0.385 J 

When the system loses an amount of energy, the surrounding acquires it, and vice versa, So:

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

E _system = -  E _surrounding

Any change in the system's energy E _system is accompanied by a change in the surrounding energy E _surrounding by a similar value, but with an opposite sign, so that the total energy remains constant. 

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

OFF

Answer explanation

·     First law of thermodynamics includes the study of the energy exchange in the isolated systems, First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant even if the system is changed from one state to another.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

, which states that the energy in any physical or chemical change can be neither created nor destroyed, but it is transformed from one form to another.
