### Why does temperature not increase by putting more logs into the fire

Adding more fuel doesn't permit an arbitrarily high combustion temperature because of an unavoidable intrinsic limitation: The reaction has to heat its products. (In the case of wood, this is mostly ...

### Why does temperature not increase by putting more logs into the fire

I agree with Chemodynamics, and I will try to add a different perspective (or maybe two). The fire process is a process where you add a fuel (i.e. energy in the system), and that fuel is gradually ...

### Difference between temperature and heat

In engineering terms heat (energy) and temperature are two different things. One (of many) real life examples is the kitchen stove. When you turn on the kitchen, (and leave it at a set point), the ...

### Why is the carrier block in a winchester rifle made of brass?

Brass is a natural choice for accomodating sliding or rotating contact with steel surfaces. This is because oxide grit or metal particles which would cause galling get embedded into the (softer) brass ...

### In case of solvation , Who converts gaseous ions to aqueous ? Why do we even have gaseous but not solid ions?

We define reactions uniquely depending on the reactants and products. Here are examples related to your question. Formation: Na(s) + (1/2)Cl$_2$(g) $\rightarrow$ NaCl(s) Lattice Formation: Na$^+$(g) + ...

### Difference between temperature and heat

A little example: Water has a specific heat capacity (SHC) of 4.2 kJ.kg-1.K-1. I have a 2.1 kW electric kettle. $$\Delta T = \frac {P \cdot t}{m \cdot SHC}$$ where $\Delta T$ is the temperature ...
