Q

Each Celsius degree is _____ than each Fahrenheit degree

A

larger; and the scales start on different number

18
Q

What is common about Celsius and Kelvin?

A

They are the same size; but start on different numbers

19
Q

How do you find Fahrenheit when you only have the temperature in Celsius?
(Formula)

A

F= (9/5)C +32

20
Q

How do you find Celsius when you only have the temperature in Fahrenheit

23
Q

Is their a temperature where molecular motion theoretically stops?

24
Q

What is the temperature called that’s molecular motion theoretically stops

A

Absolute Zero

25
What is the lowest temperature called?
Absolute Zero
26
What is Absolute Zero in Kelvin and Celsius and Fahrenheit?
0 K ; - 273° C; -460°F
27
What is Thermal energy?
The total internal energy; sum of kinetic and potential energies
28
Why does a swimming pool have a higher thermal energy than a pot of boiling water?
The pool has a larger mass of particles, as the thermal energy is the total
29
Thermal energy that is being transferred from warm substances to cooler substances is called what
heat
30
What is heat measured in, and why?
heat is measured in Joules or calories because it is a form of energy or energy transfer
31
What is 1 calorie defined as?
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 Celsius of water
32
Can some substances absorb heat better than others?
YES
33
What is the ability for a substance to absorb heat called?
specific heat
34
The specific heat of water is...
1 cal/ g° C
35
What do substances with higher specific heat require?
greater energy to achieve equivalent temperature increases by mass
36
What are the devices called that measure changes in heat called?
calorimeters
37
How do calorimeters work?
on the idea that heat is lost by one substance is gained by another
38
Heat lost or gained theorem
Heat lost or gained= specific heat x mass x temperature change (Q= cmΔT)
39
What is the energy stored in foods measured in?
Calories
40
1 Food Calorie equals how many scientific calories?
1 Food Calorie = 1000 calories
41
How do you differentiate standard calories to food Calories?
Food Calories usually have a capital "C" and standard calories have a lowercase "c"
42
What the two ways specific heat can be defined as?
-The specific heat of a substance is the number of Joules of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of the substance 1 kelvin. -Specific heat can also be defined as the number of calories required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance 1 degree Celsius
