Study Guidelines (* indicates important objectives)

*  16.1.1 Explain how heat and work transfer energy.

*  16.1.2 Relate thermal energy to the motion of particles that make up a material.

*  16.1.3 Relate temperature to thermal energy and to thermal expansion.

*  16.1.4 Calculate thermal energy, temperature change, or mass using the specific heat equation.

16.1.5 Describe how a calorimeter operates  and calculate thermal energy changes  or specific heat using calorimetry measurements.

*  16.2.1 Describe conduction, convection, and radiation and identify which of these is occurring in a given situation.

*  16.2.2 Classify materials as thermal conductors or thermal insulators.

*  16.2.3 Apply the law of conservation of energy to conversions between thermal energy and other forms of energy.

16.2.4 Apply the second law of thermodynamics in situations where thermal energy moves from cooler to warmer objects.

16.2.5 State the third law of thermodynamics.

16.3.1 Describe heat engines and explain how heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical energy.

*  16.3.2 Describe how different types of heating systems operate.

*  16.3.3 Describe how cooling systems, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, operate.

16.3.4 Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of different heating and cooling systems.
