     increases but temperature changes are d) the same / different for different
     substances. The greater the specific heat of a substance the greater is its e)
     capacity / size for heat. The amount of heat necessary f) to transform /
     change the temperature of a given amount of substance depends on the mass,
     the specific heat and the temperature change.

       When a pot of cold water is placed on a hot burner of a stove, the
temperature of the water increases. We say that heat flows from the hot burner
to the cold water. The spontaneous flow of heat is always in the direction to
equalize the temperature. We commonly speak of the “flow” of heat – heat
flows form a stove burner to a pot of coffee, from the Sun to the Earth, from a
person’s mouth into a fever thermometer. If the two objects are kept in contact
long enough for their temperatures to become equal, the two bodies are said to
be in thermal equilibrium, there is no heat flow between them.

      When heat flows from a hot object to a cooler one, it is energy that is
being transferred from the hot to the cold object. Thus, heat is a form of
energy. The ultimate sources of heat are the kinetic and potential energies of
molecules.

      Energy transfer involves work. For example, when we do work, there is
frequently a substantial amount of heating caused by friction. The conservation
