What will we learn?

❖ What is Temperature?
Measure the average kinetic energy of the molecules
in a substance, measured in degrees Celsius (°C),
Kelvin (K)

❖ What is Heat?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from a warm
object to a cold object, measured in joules (J).
Introduction

❖ In the absence of chemical or phase changes,


Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic
energy of the particles in a sample of matter.
❖ The greater the kinetic energy, the higher the
temperature.
High kinetic energy Low kinetic energy
faster molecules slower molecules
Introduction

❖Temperature is an INTENSIVE property.


Meaning, temperature does not depend on the amount
(or size) of the sample you have.

If we took a cup of ocean water and took the


temperature of it, it would be the same as the
temperature of the entire ocean!
What is Temperature?

❖ In Thermal Contact, Heat can be exchanged.


❖ In Thermal Equilibrium, No heat transfer in thermal
contact.

Heat:
Energy exchange due to a
temperature difference
flows from a high
temperature object to a
lower temperature object
What is Temperature?

Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics


If object A and object B are separately in thermal
equilibrium with a third object C, then A and B in
thermal equilibrium with each other.
TA = TC
B TB = TC

Thermometers
Thermometers
Many physical properties can be used
❖ Volume of a liquid
❖ Length of a solid
❖ Pressure of a gas held at constant volume
❖ Volume of a gas held at constant pressure
❖ Electric resistance of a conductor
❖ Color of a very hot object
Thermometers

➢ Liquid thermometers work because of thermal


expansion. Thermal expansion is the increase of
volume of a substance due to an increase in
temperature.

➢ Many thermometers use either mercury or alcohol


because they remain in the liquid form over a large
range of temperatures.

Thermometers Scales
We measure temperature on 3 main scales.

❖ Fahrenheit,

❖ Celsius, and

❖ Kelvin (absolute).
Thermometers Scales
Fahrenheit Scale
❖ Developed in early 1700s by the German
physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit, 1686-1736.
❖ Freezing point of pure water
= 32oF
❖ boiling point of pure water at sea level
= 212oF
❖100oF was to be body temperature (slight
mistake)
❖ F scale used in US for surface
temperature except in METARS.
Thermometers Scales

Celsius Scale
❖ Celsius (or centigrade) is a temperature
scale named after the Swedish astronomer
Andres Celsius, 1701-1744.
❖ Developed in late 1700s
❖ Also called Centigrade scale.
❖ Freezing point of pure water
= 0oC
❖ Boiling point of pure water at sea level
= 100oC
Thermometers Scales

Kelvin Scale
❖ William Thomson (Lord Kelvin)
suggested a temperature scale that did not
require the use of negative numbers, 1824-1907
❖ Freezing point of pure water
= 273oK
❖ boiling point of pure water at sea level
= 373oK
❖Absolute zero – molecules stop moving.
❖ Kelvin scale used for all scientific equations,
such as gas law, etc.
