Question: 1 / 400

Which type of heat is associated with the temperature increase of a substance?

Latent heat

Sensible heat

Sensible heat is the type of heat that directly corresponds to a change in temperature of a substance. When heat is added to a system causing an increase in temperature without a change in phase, the heat exchanged is referred to as sensible heat. This means that energy is being transferred to the substance, and this energy causes an increase in its temperature, which can be easily measured with a thermometer.

In contrast, latent heat refers to the heat absorbed or released during a phase change of a substance, such as melting or boiling, without a change in temperature. Conduction heat describes the process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials, and thermal heat is a more general term that can encompass many forms of heat transfer, but does not specifically describe the temperature increase associated with a substance. Thus, sensible heat is specifically the heat related to temperature changes in a material.
