Chapter 15: Temperature, Heat and Expansion Flashcards
Lecture Slide only
Temperature
A quantity/number that corresponds to the warmth of an object
Temperature related to the random motions of
Atoms and molecules in a substance
Temperature measured by a
Thermometer
Temperature have no
Upper limit
Temperature definite limit on
Lower end
Temperature is proportional to
The average translational kinetic energy per particle in a substance
High temperature of an object is equal to higher
Average kinetic energy of its particle
Solid particles were
Vibrate and jiggle in place
Liquid particles were
Slide and jiggle past one another
Gas particle bounce
Back and forth
Liquid thermometer
Measures temperature by expansion or contraction of a liquid
Liquid thermometer usually have
Mercury or colored alcohol and having high boiling points and high coefficients of expansion
Temperature reading occurs when the thermometer and the object reach
Thermal equilibrium
Temperature equal temperature number no more
Heat flow and same average kinetic energy per particle
Infrared thermometers operate by
Sensing IR radiation and use lens to focus IR light from object to a detector
Temperature Scales
1) Celsius Scale
2) Fahrenheit Scale
3) Kelvin Scale
1) Celsius Scale
0 degree for freezing point of water to 100 degrees for boiling point of water
2) Fahrenheit Scale
32 degrees for freezing point and 212 degrees for boiling point
3) Kelvin Scale
1) Measured in K, not degrees
2) 273 K for freezing point and 373 for boiling point
3) 0 at absolute zero temperature at which there is no energy left to give up or transfer to another substance
There is twice as much molecular kinetic energy in 2 liters of boiling water as in 1 litter of boiling water. Which will be the same for both?
A. Temperature
Heat
Energy transferred from one object to another due to a temperature difference
Heat direction and flow of energy transfer is
Always from a warmer object to a neighboring cooler object
Touch a hot stove, energy transfer from the stove to
The hand
Touch a piece of ice, energy transfer from the hand to
Ice
Work done by friction goes into
Heating an object called this: “Thermal energy” to make clear its link to heat and temperature
Refer to thermal energy as
Internal energy (U) and the grand total of all the energies inside a substance
Translational, rotational, and vibrational energy of molecules that make up a
Substance
A substance does not contain heat, it contains
Internal energy
If a red hot thumbtack is immersed in warm water and the direction of heat flow will be from the
Red-hot thumbtack to the warm water
Heat (quantity of heat) measured in
Joules (J) and Calories (J/C degrees), and 4.18 joules of heat are required to change the temperature of 1g of water by 1 Celsius degree
