Card 1Temperature and heat

State the meaning of temperature and heat.

Answer

Temperature is the physical quantity that indicates how hot or cold a body is. Heat is energy transferred between two systems, or between a system and its surroundings, because of a temperature differ…

Card 2Thermometry

What is thermometry?

Answer

Thermometry is the branch of physics that deals with temperature measurement. A thermometer uses a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature.

Card 3Temperature scales

State the general thermometric temperature formula.

Answer

Formula: t = (X_t - X_i) / (X_s - X_i) × n Here, X_t = property value at unknown temperature, X_i = ice-point value, X_s = steam-point value, and n = number of divisions between the fixed points. This…

Card 4Temperature scales

State the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.

Answer

Formula: C/5 = (F - 32)/9 Meaning: C is the temperature in Celsius and F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. Quick example: If C = 0, then F = 32. If C = 100, then F = 212.

Card 5Temperature scale conversion

Convert 25°C into Fahrenheit.

Answer

Given: C = 25°C Formula: C/5 = (F - 32)/9 Step 1: 25/5 = (F - 32)/9 Step 2: 5 = (F - 32)/9 Step 3: 45 = F - 32 Step 4: F = 77°F Answer: 25°C = 77°F…

Card 6Temperature scale conversion

Convert 98.6°F into Celsius.

Answer

Given: F = 98.6°F Formula: C/5 = (F - 32)/9 Step 1: C/5 = (98.6 - 32)/9 Step 2: C/5 = 66.6/9 Step 3: C/5 = 7.4 Step 4: C = 37°C Answer: 98.6°F = 37°C…

Card 7Absolute temperature

State the Kelvin scale relation and find absolute zero on the Celsius scale.

Answer

Formula: T = t_c + 273.15 Meaning: T is temperature in kelvin and t_c is temperature in Celsius. Absolute zero on the Celsius scale is -273.15°C. Quick example: 0°C corresponds to 273.15 K.

Card 8Absolute temperature

Convert 30°C into kelvin.

Answer

Given: t_c = 30°C Formula: T = t_c + 273.15 Step 1: T = 30 + 273.15 K Step 2: T = 303.15 K Answer: 30°C = 303.15 K…
