Presentation Transcript

  1. Temperature • How hot or cold something is. • What make something hot? • Particles that me up matter are in constant motion • They have kinetic energy • When you heat something the particles move faster • Temperature measures average KE

  2. Temperature • Measured with thermometers • Most materials expand when heated. • That is how most thermometers work • Liquid thermometers have a large bulb hooked to a narrow tube. • When the liquid expands it rises up the tube. • Won’t work if too hot or cold

  3. Iron Hot Cold Copper Thermometers • Metals expand when heated • Different metals expand different amounts • Hook two metals together to make a thermometer that turns • Bimetallic Thermometers

  4. Thermometers • Bimetallic thermometers are used in thermostats • Digital thermometers use the fact that electricity conducts differently at different temperatures.

  5. Temperature • As the temperature get lower the molecules move slower • Kinetic energy goes down • Lowest possible temperature would be when molecules stop moving • Absolute zero

  6. Temperature Scales • Three different ones get used • Fahrenheit- the one we use • Celsius- metric standard • Kelvin- starts at absolute zero but same degree size as Celsius

  7. Converting Temperature • F = 9 C + 32 5 • K = C + 273 • Water freezes at 32°F, what is this in Celsius? • In Kevin? • Water boils at 100°C. What is this in Fahrenheit? • In Kelvin?

  8. 273 K 0⁰C 32⁰F

  9. 373 K 100⁰C 212⁰F 273 K 0⁰C 32⁰F

  10. 373 K 0 K 100⁰C -273⁰C 212⁰F -492⁰F 273 K 0⁰C 32⁰F

  11. Conversion Practice • Body temperature is 98.6°F, what is this in Celsius? In Kelvin? • Methanol boils at 75°C, what is this in Fahrenheit?, in Kelvin? • Lead melts at 600 K, what is this in Celsius? In Fahrenheit?
