Temperature
and Heat
OBJECTIVES
❚ 1. Define the following terms: steam
point (boiling point), ice point (freezing
point)
❚ 2. Define the term temperature.
❚ 3. List the three temperature scales used
domestically
❚ 4. Be able to write the equation for each
of the temperature scales and be able to
apply them to make temperature
conversions between the three scales.
❚ 5. Define or describe the term heat and
give the units in which it is measured in
both mks and fps systems.
❚ 6. Define the terms joule and calorie.
❚ 7. Define the terms specific heat and
differentiate between the terms specific
heat and heat capacity.
❚ 8. Define: latent heat of fusion and latent
heat of vaporization.
❚ 9. Define thermodynamics and state the
three laws of thermodynamics.
❚ 10. List and describe the three states of
matter.
❚ 11. List three assumptions of the kinetic
theory.
❚ 12. List and describe the three ways in
which heat can be transferred from one
place to another.
TEMPERATURE
❚ 0 freezing
❚ 100 boiling
❚ 100 units between 0 and 100
Fahrenheit scale o
F
❚ 32 Freezing
❚ 212 boiling
❚ 180 units between 32 and 212
Kelvin scale K
❚ K= C + 273
❚ 273 freezing
❚ 373 boiling
Conversion of temperature
❚ K=C + 273
❚ F=9/5 C + 32 1.8 C + 32
❚ C=5/9(F-32) F-32 /1.8
HEAT
❚ As a substance changes
from one phase to
another, there will
be a change in heat
energy but NO temper
ature change.
Heat Change
❚ W a t e r - H fus = 8 0 c a l / g
❚ Water - H vap = 540 cal/g
❚ Ice - CP= 0.5 cal/g.C O
❚ Conduction-transfer of heat by
molecular activity. Thermal
conductivity is the ability of solids to
conduct heat.
❚ Thermal insulation- liquids and gases
are poor thermal conductors
Convection
