temperature of a substance
Mass - ANSWERSAmount of matter in an object
Final temperature - ANSWERSTemperature reached after thermal equilibrium is reached
Loss or gain from surrounding environment - ANSWERSNo heat transfer between the system
and its surroundings
, Total energy - ANSWERSSum of the energy lost and gained in a system
Conversion of units - ANSWERSChanging measurements to standard units for calculations
