The energy transferred between samples of matter because of a difference in their temperatures is called a. heat.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics establishes that when two bodies with different temperatures are put in contact they will find thermic equilibrium to a final temperature by transferring heat. Thus the correct answer is (a).

Thermochemistry is the study of the transformations of heat energy on the chemical reactions. Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of chemical reactions. And temperature is the measure of the heat.
