1 Heat and Temperature

2 Temperature Objective  Define temperature in terms of the average kinetic energy of atoms or molecules  Convert temperature readings between the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin  Describe heat as a form of energy transfer

3 Temperature and Energy All particles in a substance are moving  Particles have kinetic energy  Temperature is the measurement of average kinetic energy  More kinetic energy the higher the temperature

4 Thermometers Use a simple physical property  Most objects expand when their temperature rises  Ordinary thermometers will use mercury or colored alcohol which expand and contract as temperature changes Caused by exchange of energy from thermometer and surroundings –Why not water?

5 Thermometer variations Dial thermometers with pointers  Use 2 types of metals for coil to control arrow – coil unwinds lowering pointer Digital thermometer  Measures temperature by change in current  Change in temperature changes electric current-it all has to do with kinetic energy

6 Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin Fahrenheit Scale  Used in U.S. but no place else  Unit of measure is degrees- o F  Water freezes at 32 o F  Water boils 212 o F

7 Celsius (centigrade)  Used in most countries and in science  Water freezes at 0 0 C  Water boils at 100 0 C  Difference between freezing and boiling is divided in 100 equal parts called degrees Celsius- 0 C  Degree of Celsius is 2x the degree of Fahrenheit

9 More Equations: Celsius-Fahrenheit Conversion Equation Fahrenheit temp=(9/5 x Celsius temp) + 32.0 T f = 9/5t + 32.0 Fahrenheit-Celsius Conversion Equation Celsius Temp = 5/9(Fahrenheit temp -32.0) t= 5/9 (T f - 32.0 )

10 Kelvin Scale  Based on absolute zero The point where the energy of an object cannot be any lower Equal to -273.13 0 C Lowest point on Kelvin Scale is 0K No negative numbers  Another equation (it easy)-Celsius to Kelvin Kelvin temp = Celsius temp + 273 T= t + 273

13 Relating Temperature to Energy Transfer as Heat Why does ice melt in your hand?  Ice has lower temperature than your hand  Molecules in ice are moving slower than molecules in hand  Energy transferred from fast moving molecules of hand to slower ice molecules  Ice molecules speed up which increases kinetic energy – causes ice to melt

14 The transfer of energy between the particles of 2 objects due to temperature difference between the 2 objects is called The transfer of energy goes from hotter to colder What happens if you hold a hot water bottle? What happens when drinks are put into ice? What happens when you put your hands together?
