If the temperature of a cup of coffee decreases from
Interpretation:
The temperature change from
Concept Introduction:
The temperature can be measured in terms of degree Celsius and kelvin. Temperature is an intensive property.
The temperature change in units of Kelvin is same as the temperature change obtained in units of Celsius.

You determine that the temperature of your distilled water is exactly 24.5 degrees Celsius. You carefully determined the mass of a clean dry beaker and found that it was 57.5513 g. You pulled water up to the mark and transferred this to the beaker and found that the new mass was 82.9344 g. What is the actual volume of the pipet? The density of water at 24.5 degrees Celsius is 0.997983 g/mL.arrow_forward
