Thermal equilibrium equation










                                            where           Q   = Heat energy involved

                                                        m   = mass of substance
                                                        c    = Specific Heat capacity
                                                       ∆q   = Changes in temperature (T final - T initial)


                      •       Idea of thermal equilibrium:

                              a)     Heat flows from hot to cold
                              b)     Heat transfer until both reached same temperature



                      •       In the thermal equilibrium process one object will lost heat and the other will gain it.


                      •       Therefore, the heat lost by one object is equal to the heat gained by the other object.
