HOMEWORK FOR LAB 1:
INTRODUCTION TO HEAT AND TEMPERATURE
(RTP2-1)
1. Approximately what is human body temperature on the Celsius temperature
scale and on the Kelvin scale? What is room temperature?
2. Why must a thermometer be calibrated? You have a glass bulb thermometer
with no markings on it and a second one marked in degrees Celsius. Explain
how you would calibrate the unmarked thermometer. In order to Calibrate a
thermometer, the bulb is made to reach thermal equilibrium
with the temperature standard such as ice and then
with another, standard 5uch as water or vapor and then
tybę divided in to regular intervals between Axed point.
abe is
the length of time it takés the temperature probe to reach therma'
equilibrium with the air or water it is in. Is it easier to exchange heat between a
thermometer and air or between a thermometer and water?
4. What effect does the evaporation of water have on the object from which it is
evaporating? When has your body experienced this effect? During
evaporation, heat is being exchanged. What is it transferred from, and what
is it transferred to?
5. If you put a cup of hot chocolate at 90°C on a table in a room kept at 25°C,
you know it will cool down.
a.
How cool will the hot chocolate get?
b.
If you put it outside where the temperature is 5°C, how cool will it get?
