The document discusses heat and temperature. It defines heat as the transfer of energy between bodies of different temperatures, and temperature as a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules. It describes the three main mechanisms of heat transfer as conduction, convection, and radiation. It also discusses temperature scales like Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin, and how thermometers are used to measure temperature.

body to another of different temperatures happens around us all the time. Temperature
In simplest definition, it
is the hotness or coldness of a body. Temperature
is a measure of the
average kinetic energy of molecules Heat and its importance
Our naked eyes may not see
its process, but we can see its effects. We even depend on these effects. Heat and its importance
The heat we get from the sun, air
conditioning, and cooking of food are just some processes or activities that involve heat transfer. Hence, heat transfer is essential in our daily lives. Mechanism Of Heat Transfer
heat transfers from one
body to another of different temperatures through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction
is the transfer of heat energy
from one molecule to another by direct contact. Conduction Convection
is the movement of heat by a fluid
such as water or air. The fluid (liquid or gas) moves from one location to another, transferring heat along with it. This movement of a mass of heated water or air is called a current. Convection Radiation
is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic
waves. When you stand in the sun, you are warmed by the electromagnetic waves, mainly infrared radiation (and to a lesser extent, visible light), that travels from the sun to Earth. Radiation Radiation Temperature is commonly associated with coldness or hotness of a body. How do we quantify this difference in the hotness or coldness of a body? A. What happens to the temperature of water as time elapses?
B. What is the temperature when the water boils?
C. What happens to the temperature of water while it is boiling?
What happens to the temperature of the matter when heated or cooled?

Kinetic molecular theory
tellsus that all matter has
molecules or atoms which are constantly moving; thus, they have kinetic energy Temperature
Molecules are constantly moving but at
different speeds and in the same direction. Moreover, the faster these molecules move, the more kinetic energy they have. The more kinetic energy, the higher is the temperature of an object. Temperature
isa measure of the average kinetic
energy of molecules. When molecules move faster, they have higher temperatures while when molecules move slower, they have lower temperatures. What happens to the temperature of the matter when heated or cooled?

How do you determine the temperature of an object? Can you use your senses to determine the temperature? A B C Thermometer
We need a thermometer
to measure temperature Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II, invented the most common type of thermometer, liquid-in-glass thermometer, in 1650. Thermometer
This type of thermometer
is a sealed glass tube containing mercury and with an imprinted temperature scale. The mercury expands or contracts, causing it to move up or down when there are changes in the temperature. What is heat? Heat
When a barbecue has just been
removed from the fire, you know it is hot and may burn your tongue, so you do not bite it immediately. Heat
Caloric theory is an early theory on heat. It
considered heat to consist a fluid called caloric fluid which flows from hotter objects to colder objects. James Prescott
James Prescott superseded this theory by proving
that a measurable amount of mechanical energy can always be transformed into definite amounts of heat. He called this quantity as a mechanical equivalent of heat and has a value of 4.186 Joules (J) equivalent to 1 calorie (cal). Prescott further concluded that heat is another form of energy. Heat is produced from molecules of matter that continuously vibrate. Heat is an energy form that transfers from a body of higher temperature to another body of lower temperature. Joule (J)
Joule (J) is the SI unit of heat. Another
common unit of heat is calorie (cal), defined as the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of one gram of water by 1 ºC at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). Temperature Scales
The three common
temperature scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and kelvin. Temperature Scales
Anders Celsius introduced the Celsius
scale in 1741 while Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit introduced the Fahrenheit scale in 1724.
Bothscales used the freezing and boiling
points of water as reference points. Celsius
On the Celsius scale, the freezing
point of water is 0 ºC while its boiling point is 100 ºC under a pressure of 1 atm, having 100 intervals between two reference points. Fahrenheit
Onthe Fahrenheit scale, the freezing
point of water is 32 ºF while its boiling point is 212 ºF, having 180 intervals between two reference points. The difference between these two reference points is divided equally into intervals called degrees (º) Kelvin
WilliamThompson also known as Lord Kelvin,
introduced the third temperature scale which is called kelvin. This scale is based on absolute zero corresponding to 0 kelvin. It is the lowest possible temperature and it is when the molecules of the substance have the lowest energy. Kelvin scale cannot have negative temperatures. Kelvin
On the kelvin scale, the
freezing point of water is 273 K while its boiling point is 373 K. Conversion Formula
From Celsius to Fahrenheit 𝑇𝐶= 5/9 (𝑇𝐹−32)
From Fahrenheit to Celsius 𝑇𝐹 = (9/5 𝑇𝐶) +32 or 𝑇𝐹 =(1.8 x 𝑇𝐶)+32
