What to Focus On

  • Temperature measures degree of hotness or coldness
  • Heat is a form of energy that can do work
  • Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature

  • Clinical thermometer measures body temperature
  • Laboratory thermometer used for scientific experiments
  • Mercury is ideal thermometric liquid

  • Celsius: Ice point 0°C, Steam point 100°C
  • Fahrenheit: Ice point 32°F, Steam point 212°F
  • Kelvin: Ice point 273K, Steam point 373K

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature are the same thing

During change of state, temperature increases continuously

Steam at 100°C and water at 100°C have the same thermal energy

Memory Tips

Heat vs Temperature distinction

Temperature scale conversions C/100 = (F-32)/180 = (K-273)/100

Thermal expansion in solids, liquids, and gases

Latent heat definition
