๐ซ He became a professor at the University of Glasgow in 1756, teaching chemistry and physics.
๐ Black discovered the concept of specific heat, which tells us how much heat different materials can store.
๐ก๏ธ He introduced the idea of latent heat, the energy needed for a substance to change form without changing temperature.
๐ In the 1750s, Joseph Black discovered carbon dioxide, a gas that is heavier than normal air.
๐ฆ His discoveries have practical uses, such as helping us cook, heat homes, and even make ice cream.
๐ฅ Black explained the difference between heat and temperature, enhancing our understanding of energy.
๐ง He revealed that different materials absorb and transfer heat differently.
