True
False
5. The total heat content of a system at constant pressure is called .
6. When ice melts, it is an process because it absorbs heat from its surroundings.
7. Distinguish between heat and temperature.
8. Observe the diagram of the thermometer below. If the liquid in the thermometer rises, what does this indicate about the surrounding environment's temperature?
