Formulas and Key Relations
Temperature and Heat
Heat is the form of energy transferred between two or more systems or a system and its surroundings by virtue of temperature difference
T = t_c + 273.15
(t_F - 32)/180 = t_C/100
Ideal Gas Equation and Absolute Temperature
PV/T = μR or PV = μRT
Thermal Expansion
Δl/l = α_l ΔT
α_v = (ΔV/V)(1/ΔT)
α_v = 3α_l
Specific Heat Capacity and Calorimetry
S = ΔQ/ΔT
s = (1/m)(ΔQ/ΔT)
C = (1/μ)(ΔQ/ΔT)
Q = mL ; L = Q/m
Gas Laws and Molecular Behaviour
These laws combine into the ideal gas equation PV = μRT.
Charles’ law
V/T = constant at constant pressure.
Linear expansion
Δl/l = α_lΔT.
Volume expansion
α_v = (ΔV/V)(1/ΔT).
For an ideal gas, α_v = 1/T.
