Concept Introduction:
Temperature:
It is the property of matter that determines the transfer of energy from one object to another object.
It can be measured in two units: Celsius temperature scale and Fahrenheit temperature scale.
In Celsius temperature scale, the freezing point of water is
In Fahrenheit temperature scale, the freezing point of water is
Celsius scale can be converted to Fahrenheit scale by using the following equation:

- 1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised? (c) If a certain amount of heat is used to raise the temperature of 1.6 g of iron by 10oC, the temperature of 1 g of which element would also be raised by 10oC, using the same amount of heat?arrow_forwardSuppose you have a car which gets 51 miles per gallon of gasoline in the city. Suppose you take the car to Canada. Then you fill it up at a gas station in Canada. How many kilometers should the car be able to drive on city streets on 1.7 liters of gasoline? (Note: 1 mile = 1.609 km, 1 gallon = 3.78541 L)arrow_forwardDimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping" when converting quantities or performing calculations. • When converting quantities from one unit to another, conversion factors are used. Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units: If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km? • Let's also assume that my car gets an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.arrow_forward
- A student's thermometer reads 105.2°C when placed in boiling water. The student then used the same thermometer to test the temperature of a solution, and the thermometer read 88.0°C. What value should the student write down as the actual temperature of the solution?arrow_forwardSuppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of some compound (−112.7C) and the boiling point of the same compound (74.5C) are taken as 0 S and 100 S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 25.1arrow_forwardWhat volume of water (in mL), initially at 62.9 °C, needs to be mixed with 270 mL of water, initially at 28.2 °C, so that the final temperature of the water is 43.9 °C? Assume that the density of water remains constant over the above temperature range. Enter your answer in decimal notation with three significant figures.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of some compound (−103.6°C) and the boiling point of the same compound (87.2°C) are taken as 0°S and 100°S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 22.6°C?(Answer should be in °S)arrow_forwardYou are traveling to the Netherlands for the month of June and you are trying to determine what clothes to pack. You look up the average daily high temperature and find it is 15°C. Calculate this temperature in °F to help you determine what clothes to pack using the correct equation. Remember to include your units of degrees F in your final answer. TF = 1.8(Tc) + 32 TC=TF−321.8arrow_forwardClassify the six underlined properties in the following paragraph as chemical or physical:Fluorine is a pale yellow gas that reacts with most substances. The free element melts at −220 °C and boils at −188 °C. Finely divided metals burn in fluorine with a bright flame. Nineteen grams of fluorine will react with 1.0 gram of hydrogen.arrow_forward
- The lowest temperature recorded in a particular city during the past year was –12.04° C. What was the temperature on the Kelvin scale? K The highest temperature recorded in the same city during the past year was 302.89 K. What was the temperature in degrees Celsius? °Carrow_forwardYou want to quickly set up a temporary water bath in your lab with a volume of 10.0L and a temperature of 37.0°C. You only have hot water from your hot water faucet (temperature = 50.5°C) and cold water from your cold water faucet (temperature = 22.0°C). What volume of hot water (in liters) must you mix with cold water to get 10.0 L of 37.0°C water? Assume the specific heat of the water is 4.184 J/g.
