Study Notes
Temperature and Heat Energy
- When heat energy flows into a substance, the temperature of the substance usually rises.
- The average kinetic energy (K.E.) of a substance is directly proportional to its temperature (in ideal gases, liquids, and solids).
Thermometry and Temperature Scales
- Temperature is difficult to measure directly, so it's usually measured indirectly by measuring physical properties that change with temperature.
- Examples of physical properties that change with temperature include:
- Volume (density) of most substances, which increases with temperature.
- Electrical resistance.
- Color.
- Emission of infrared radiation.
- The Fahrenheit scale (°F) is related to the Celsius scale (°C) by the equation: tF = tc + 32.
The Kelvin Scale
- The Kelvin scale (°K) is also known as the absolute scale.
- The Kelvin scale has the same divisions as the Celsius scale, but takes 0 °K as absolute zero, which is equivalent to -273.15 °C.
Measuring Temperature
- The most common way to measure temperature is using a glass thermometer containing mercury or alcohol.
- The glass thermometer is a common device used to measure temperature.
Cryogenics and Cryosurgery
- Cryogenics is the science and technology of producing and using very low temperatures.
- Cryobiology is the study of low-temperature effects in biology and medicine.
- Cryosurgery is the application of cryogenic methods to destroy cells, and is used to destroy tissue in a controlled manner.
- Advantages of cryosurgery include:
- Minimal bleeding in the destroyed area.
- The ability to control the volume of tissue destroyed by the temperature of the cryosurgical probe.
This quiz covers the relationship between heat energy and temperature, thermometry, and temperature scales. It explores how temperature affects the physical properties of substances, such as ideal gases, liquids, and solids.
