Temperature and Expansion

• K=°C+273.15.
• ΔL=LαΔT; ΔA=AβΔT (β=2α); ΔV=VγΔT (γ=3α).

Heat and Calorimetry

• Q=mcΔT; Q=mL (phase change).
• Calorimetry: heat lost=heat gained.

Heat Transfer

• Conduction, convection, radiation.
• Stefan-Boltzmann: E=σT⁴.

One-Line Summary

Thermal properties of matter cover temperature measurement, thermal expansion, specific/latent heat, and the three modes of heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation.
