Explain when you would use q=MCAT VS. q=mAHtus or q=mAHvap

Heat is sometimes called a process quantity, because it is defined in the context of a process by which energy can be transferred. We don't talk about a cup of coffee containing heat, but we can talk about the heat transferred from the cup of hot coffee to your hand. Heat is also an extensive property, so the change in temperature resulting from heat transferred to a system depends on how many molecules are in the system.❤
