Same amount of heat given to 10 kg water and mercury, whose temperature is high? why?

The rise in temperature is more in mercury than in water because specific heat capacity of the mercury is less than water. Since , difference in temperature is inversely propotional to specific heat capacity.

Dt ∝1/s.

The First Law states that the total increase in the energy of a system is equal to the increase in thermal energy plus the work done on the system. ... The Second Law states that heat energy cannot be transferred from a body at a lower temperature to a body at a higher temperature without the addition of energy.Various heat transfer mechanisms exist, including convection, conduction, thermal radiation, and evaporative cooling.

Unlike conduction and convection, radiation does not need matter to transfer heat. Energy is radiated from the sun, through the vacuum of space at the speed of light. When this energy arrives at Earth, some of it is transferred to the gases in our atmosphere.Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission.

Infrared radiation from the water transfers thermal energy to the ice cube, which increases the ice cube particles KE store, breaking the intermolecular bonds of the ice cube, melting it.The basic effect of heat transfer is that the particles of one substance collide with the particles of another substance. The more energetic substance will typically lose internal energy (i.e. "cool down") while the less energetic substance will gain internal energy (i.e. "heat up").
