What is a description of heat?
Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a heated item to a cooler item.
Which is a description of cauterization?
a discription of a cauterization is treating tissue with heat.
What is a description of heat transfer?

Is density is a measure of how much heat there is in a volume of a substance?
"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a stationary fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." (Archimedes) And this is independent on the heat.
What is a description for conductivity?
Conductivity is the ability of a substance to transmit electricity, heat, or sound
Why does tin foil help reflect heat?
tin foil help reflect heat because it attracts heat and since its shining sun is most likely to come toward it.
What is the description of the enthalpy of reaction?
The enthalpy of a chemical reaction is the change of heat during this reaction.
