Heat Flashcards
____ is the property of a body that’ll determine the which heat will flow
Temperature
Heat flows from body at _____ to a body at _____
Higher to lower
When a body absorbs heat without changing its state its temp
Rises
Heat depends on the
Mass of the body and the temperature
Heat is a measure of
Total internal energy
The measure of the average kinetic energy is
Temperature
A thermometer that notices heat change with potential difference is
Thermocouple
The response of the human sense of touch is influenced by its
Previous experience
The standard atmospheric pressure is
760mm of mercury
The difference between two temperature points is the
Fundamental interval
The upper and lower fixed point of a farenheight scale
212•C and 32•C
The temperature tagged as absolute zero is
-273•C and 0K
The upper fixed point of an unmarked thermometer can be determined with an
Hypsonometer
The 2 instruments used to determine the upper fixed point is the
Manometer and hyspometer
The jonb of the manometer is
To keep the atmospheric pressure within 760
An important precaution to know when getting the lower fixed point is that
The thermometer doesn’t come in contact with the boiling water
The most common thermometers are the
Mercury and Alchohol
The liquid in glass thermometer measures
Change in volume of a fixed mass of liquid
For sensitivity a liquid in glass thermometer should have
A bulb made of thin glass,narrow capillary tube, A liquid with high expansivity
A liquid with good expansivity should
Increase uniformly with change in temp
ii.Have high boiling point and low boiling point
iii.be easily seen in glass
The disadvantage ofusing mercury in glass thermometer is the
Unreliability of its accuracy
The main advantage of Mercury over Alchohol is its
High conductivity,High boiling point(357•C)it doesn’t wet glass
The Advantage of Alchohol over mercury is
High freezing point,Better expansivity(6x)
The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the
Kink or constriction
