Warmer temperatures cause water to expand,a phenomenon called thermal expansion, and cause glaciers and polar ice caps to melt.

now you have this object which is going to tell you whether other things are in thermal equilibrium now.

现在你有了一个可以告诉你,其他物体是否处于,热平衡的物体。

And so we knew each other from one of my classes at thermal dynamics class

我们是在热动力学课上互相认识的。

Because, when you ask yourself that question, you should consider what is the thermal energy versus the bonding energy?

这是因为，对于这个问题，我们应当考虑到,什么样的热能,对应于键能？

I didn't even need to know that heat capacity of the product, right. Because it's effect the thermal mass of the product is negligible compared to the thermal mass of the calorimeter.

我甚至不需要知道生成物的,热容是多少，因为生成物的,热质量的作用相比于,量热计的热质量是可以忽略的。

If the bonding energy is very strongly negative, thermal energy isn't great enough to disrupt those bonds and allow those bonds to be broken and then have fluidity.

如果键能非常强，热能并不足以,打破这些化学键,破坏这些化学键,并使它们液化。

So if I get rid of these arrows, there's no heat flowing because they're in thermal equilibrium, then I can't have an arrow here.

所以如果我擦去这些箭头，没有热流存在,因为它们处于热平衡，那么这里也不能存在一个箭头。
