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
Heat:
Energy exchange due to a
temperature difference
flows from a high
temperature object to a
lower temperature object

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 Scales
We need 2 points
❖ 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.
