Ch.10- Thermometer and Temperature Scales

When a thermometer is in thermal contact with a system, how is energy exchanged ?

Energy is exchanged until the thermometer and the system are in thermal equilibrium with each other

What are 6 physical properties that thermometers use that change with temperature

volume, length, presence of gas, color, and electric existence of a conductor

Define Celsius Temperature Scale

A Scale of Numbers associated with various temperatures

What is a Gas Thermometer

A Fundamental thermometer that defines temperature and relates it directly to internal energy

What does a Constant-Gas Thermometer measure?

The pressure of the gas contained in the flask immersed in the bath

Define Absolute Zero

The coldest possible temperature equivalent to -273.15 degrees Celsius

Define Triple Point of Water

The single temperature and pressure at which water, water vapor, and ice can coexist in equilibrium

F- 32 degrees

K- 273.15 kelvin

What is the Steam Point of Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin

C- 100 degrees

F- 212 degrees
