MASS
Centigrade scale.
•Fahrenheit Scale based on degrees
Fahrenheit ( F), commonly used in
o
North America.
• Kelvin scale is another temperature scale.
Absolute zero!
• the SI unit of temperature.
• 273 K
• It is of particular importance because it is
directly related to molecular motion.
• As molecular speed increases, the Kelvin
temperature proportionately increases.
TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS
• Fahreheit to Celsius
• oC = ( oF – 32)/1.8 or 5/9 (oF – 32)
• Celsius to Fahrenheit
• oF = (1.8 x oC ) + 32 or (9/5 x oC) + 32
• Celsius to Kelvin
• K = oC + 273
• Kelvin to Celsius
• oC = K - 273
Example:
o
C = 5/9 x (oF - 32)
o
C = /9 x (212 - 32) = 100 C
5 o
Exercise:
• a. Convert 100oC to kelvin
• b. Convert 298.15K to Celsius
• c. Convert 30oC to Fahrenheit
• d. Convert 80oF to kelvin
• e. Convert 293.15K to Fahrenheit
ENERGY
•The ability to do work.
•Kinetic energy – the energy of
motion.
•Potential energy – the energy of
position (stored energy).
Energy can also be categorized by form:
• Light
• Heat
• Electrical
• Mechanical
• chemical
