What to Focus On

  • Temperature determines the direction of heat flow.
  • Heat is energy transferred because of temperature difference.
  • Thermometry is the measurement of temperature.
  • Kelvin is the absolute temperature scale.
  • T = tc + 273.15.
  • Absolute zero is -273.15°C.
  • Boyle's law: PV = constant at constant temperature.
  • Charles' law: Vt = V0(1 + t/273).
  • At constant pressure, V ∝ T.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature are the same thing.

Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales can be converted by simple multiplication only.

In a thermometer, any property can be used without choosing fixed points.

Memory Tips

Temperature and heat are different ideas

Thermometry and thermometer principle

General thermometric temperature formula

Celsius scale fixed points
