Study Notes
Temperature
- Temperature is a property of matter that determines the direction of heat transfer.
- It is frequently measured quantity in chemistry, and is the measure of how hot or cold one object is relative to another.
Temperature Scales
- There are three temperature scales in use: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
- The Celsius scale is also known as the Centigrade scale.
- The Kelvin scale is the SI scale used to measure temperature, with its zero point being absolute zero (-273°C).
- Absolute zero is the temperature at which all motion of the particles of matter ceases.
Converting Between Temperature Scales
- Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273
- Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K - 273
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = 5/9(°F - 32)
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = 9/5°C + 32
Measurement Systems
- The Metric System is a decimal system of measurement, with the SI system being a specific metric system.
- The SI system has seven base units: kilogram (kg), second (s), meter (m), ampere (A), candela (cd), and mole (mol).
- The International System of Units (SI) is adopted worldwide and is simple and convenient to use since all units are based on multiples of 10.
- The English System, also known as the British or Imperial system, uses units such as yard, ounce, and pound.
Scientific Notation
- Scientific notation is a standard way of writing very large and very small numbers.
- Examples: 0.0005 m = 5 x 10^-4 m, 1,200,000 s = 1.2 x 10^6 s.
- To write in scientific notation, follow the form: a x 10^b, where a is a number between 1 and 9, and b is the positive or negative exponent.
