Mejia, John Christian G.: BSE-Science II

(1) Solids, liquids, and gases differ in their ability to change temperature - solids require the most energy to change temperature while gases require the least. (2) There is a need for different temperature scales because different scales are better suited to different applications and temperature ranges. The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are common for everyday use while the Kelvin scale is used in scientific applications. (3) The document provides examples of converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin temperature scales. Conversions involve formulas that add or subtract fixed values depending on the scales. Temperature changes are calculated by taking the difference between final and initial temperatures in the appropriate scale.

BSE-Science II
Conceptual Questions: Answer all the questions with clear statements and evidences.
1. What are the differences of the three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) in terms of their ability to
change in temperature?

2. Why is there a need to have different temperature scales?

Problems: Solve all the problems clearly and systematically.


1. Perform the conversion of the temperature scales:

a.) 452 ᵒF ¿ ᵒC

5
Tc = (Tf −32 ᵒ)
9
5
= (452 ᵒF−32 ᵒ)
9
Tc = 233.33ᵒC

b.) 3317℃ ¿℉

9
Tf = Tc+32
5
9
¿ 3317 ℃ +32 °
5
Tf =6002.6℉

c.) 214℉ ¿ K

5
Tc = (Tf −32 ᵒ)
9
5
= (214 ℉−32 ° )

¿ 101.11 ℃
Tk ¿ Tc+273.15
¿ 101.11 ℃ +273.15
Tk ¿ 374.26 K
d.) 555 K ¿℉

Tc=Tk−273.15
¿ 555 k −273.15
Tc=281.85℃
9
Tf = Tc+ 32°

Tf =539.33 ℉

2.) On January 22, 1943, the temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from −5.0 ℉ ¿ 47.0 ℉ in
just 3 minutes. What was the temperature change ∆ T in degrees Celsius and Kelvins?

Given: What is ask:


●T 1=−5.0℉ ● ∆ T in degrees Celsius
●T 2=47.0 ℉ ● ∆ T in Kelvins
Solution:
5 5
Tc= ( Tf −32 ° ) Tc= (Tf −32° )
9 9
5 5
¿ (−5.0 ℉−32 ° ) ¿ (47. o ℉−32 °)
9 9
Tc=−18.06 ℃ ¿ 8.33 ℃
∆ T =T 2c −T 1 c
¿ 8.33 ℃−(−18.06 ℃ )
¿ 26.39 ℃
Tk=Tc+ 27 3 Tk=Tc+ 273
¿−18.06 ℃+ 273 ¿ 8.33 ℃ +273
Tk=254.94 k Tk=281.33 k
∆ T =T 2k −T 1 k
¿ 281.33 k−254.94 k
¿ 26.39 K

3.) The temperature in Browning, Montana was 38.0 ℉ on January 23, 1916. The next day the
temperature plummeted at−50 ℉ . What was the temperature change ∆ T in degrees Celsius and
Kelvins?

Given: What is ask:

●T 1=38.0℉ ● ∆ T in degrees Celsius

●T 2=−50 ℉ ● ∆ T in Kelvins
