What is temperature the measure of?
average kinetic energy of a group of particles
The faster the particles move..
(5)
-The more kinetic energy they have
-higher their temperature
-Takes up more (space) volume
- Expands
-Moves farther apart
The slower the particles move…
(5)
-the less kinetic energy they have
-the lesser their temperature
-takes up less volume (space)
-Contracts
-moves closer together
What is temperature measured by?
Thermometer
How do bulb thermometer work?
the liquid expands in volume with increased temperature
What happens when the liquid in a bulb thermometer expands ?
it drives the liquid higher in the thermometer
What happens to the liquid when the thermometer cools?
the liquid contracts and drops lower in the thermometer
Why do thermometers have scales?
to enable the measurement and comparison of temperatures
What are the three major temperatures scales in use today?
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Where is Fahrenheit scale used?
Widely used in the United States
Where is the Celsius scale used?
Most other parts of the world (not US)
Where is the Kelvin scale used?
in physical science

Where is the freezing point and the boiling point on the Kelvin scale?
freezing point: 273 K
boiling point: 373 K
Each Celsius degree is _____ than each Fahrenheit degree
larger; and the scales start on different number
What is common about Celsius and Kelvin?
They are the same size; but start on different numbers
How do you find Fahrenheit when you only have the temperature in Celsius?
(Formula)
F= (9/5)C +32
How do you find Celsius when you only have the temperature in Fahrenheit
(Formula)
C= (5/9)(F-32)
How do you find Kelvin when you only have the temperature in Celsius?
(Formula)
K= C +273
How do you find Celsius when you only have the temperature in Kelvin?
(Formula)
C= K- 273
Is their a temperature where molecular motion theoretically stops?
YES
What is the temperature called that’s molecular motion theoretically stops
Absolute Zero
