Is temp or heat measured in degrees?
If you want to be pedantic, scientists measure temperature in kelvins, not degrees. Heat is energy and is measured in energy units, like joules.
How much energy must be supplied to turn 1 gram of water at 100 degrees centigrade to steam at 100 degree centigrade?
Heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 x 106 joules per kg. Therefore 1 gram of water will need 2.26 x 103 joules.
In temperature what is the difference between K and C?
Difference is 273.15. Here are formulas: K = C + 273.15 C = K - 273.15 Difference is 273.15. Here are formulas: [°C] = [K] − 273.15 [K] = [°C] + 273.15 "K" is the Kelvin scale which is useful in physics as it measures absolute heat. Absolute Zero is 0 degrees Kelvin which theoretically contains absolutely no heat and is the coldest anything can be. The freezing-to-boiling range of water is 273K to 373K. "C" is the Celsius or Centigrade scale which is most useful in chemistry involving water, as the freezing-to-boiling range of water is 0C to 100C. Absolute Zero is -273.15C. 1 "Kelvin" is also a dynamic calculation unit and as such is = to 1 "Centigrade". Thus, speaking about an "on-off" controller of temperature whose Setpoit may be set: 18 C heating element on, 20 C it is off, we say the differential (or delta, or hysteresis) is negative and equals 2 K.
When do SI metric unit of measurement that is used to record heat?
In SI units, temperature is measured in Kelvin (K), and when people record the "heat" (such as how warm a room is, etc.) they usually mean temperature. If you mean heat in the strict scientific sense, you're talking about a transfer of energy, and energy has SI units of Joules.
How many watts of heat to raise 55.32 gallons of water to 160 degrees?
A watt is a unit of power: what is required is probably the amount of energy - which is measured in joules.
