What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Heat (Thermal Energy) vs. Temperature • Heat (Thermal Energy) = sum total of all the KE of the particles in a sample. It is an energy • Temperature = measure of the average KE of the particles. Measure of thermal energy.

Thermometer • The modern thermometer used in our class is filled with colored alcohol.

Physical Properties that Depend on Temperature

Temperature Scales • Fahrenheit (o. F) • *Introduced in 1724 *Defined by 2 fixed points based on the properties of water (32 freezing pt/212 -boiling point) *First modern thermometer (Hg) Celsius (o. C) *Introduced 18 years later (1742) *Defined by setting freezing point of water to 0 o and boiling point to 100 o *Absolute zero in Celsius is -273. 15 o • Kelvin *Introduced 1848 *Zero point set to Absolute Zero

Converting Between Scales Celsius and Fahrenheit o. C = 5/9(o. F – 32) o. F= 9/5 o. C + 32

Converting Between Scales Celsius and Kelvin K= o. C + 273

Practice • Convert 32 o. F into Celsius (Proof of Concept)

Practice • Convert 0 o. C into K

Practice • Convert 580 o. F into K
