Objectives

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. Convert from joules to calories and kilocalories and vice versa.
2. Distinguish between the concepts of temperature and heat.
3. Explain what is meant by specific heat, latent heat of fusion, and latent heat of vaporization.
4. Apply the law of conservation of energy to problems involving calorimetry.
5. Distinguish the three ways that heat transfer occurs: conduction, convection, and radiation.

Peanut Lab This lab deals with heat and temperature and is teaching students about calories and the differences between calories and food calories. The students create a calorimeter and burn different foods to calculate the number of calories. Most students quickly learn that food calories are kilocalories. They also learn that potato chips, peanuts, and cheetos should all have warning labels "Keep away from flames: Fire Hazard".
