  1. Heat and Thermometer ELED 4312 Science Content

  2. Contents • Why do we need thermometer? • How does a thermometer work? • Change of Matter • Kinetic theory • Heat Energy • Heat Transfer • Scales of Temperature

  3. If there is a no thermometer… “How hot is he?” “I don’t know” “How cold is there?” “Here is not cold.. I feel pretty hot…”

  4. Thermometer • A thermometer is a device that measures the temperature of things. • To measure the temperature with a particular scale in order for others to understand the degree of temperature exactly.

  5. How does a thermometer work? Hot weather! High temperature! Cold weather! Low temperature!

  6. The Function of Thermometer • Thermometers rely on the simple principle that a liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature. High temperature Low temperature Liquids (mercury or alcohols) Volume decreases! Volume increases!

  7. Change of Matter State Heat Energy Heat Energy Particles of matters

  8. Kinetic theory of matter • All matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are constantly moving. • The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. • When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added. When heat leaves all substances, the molecules vibrate slower. • Mass of the object remains the same. “Law of Conservation of Mass”

  9. Heat makes the state of matter change! In general, the volume of matters increase except water!

  10. Change of State of Matter: Physical Change • A physical change does not produce a new substance. • Changes in state or phase (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical changes. • Examples of physical changes include crushing a can, melting an ice cube, and breaking a bottle.

  11. What is Heat Energy? • The heat energy of a substance is determined by how active its atoms and molecules are. • A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler object's molecules and atoms will be less excited and show less movement. • When these atoms and molecules are in the excited state, they take up a lot of space because they're moving around so fast. When the atoms and molecules settle down, or cool down, they take up less space.

  12. Heat Transfer • Heat travels from a hot object to a cold object.

  13. Conduction • Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct molecular communication in direct physical contact. • Conduction is greater in solids, where atoms are in constant contact. Liquids and gases are not good conductors.

  14. Convection • transfer of heat by convection in a moving medium, such as a fluid or gas. Heated air rises, cools, thenfalls.  Air near heater isreplaced by cooler air, andthe cycle repeats. Hot water rises And Cool falls Air above warmer Ground rises.

  15. Radiation • Transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation or, equivalently, by photons. • All materials radiate thermal energy in amounts determined by their temperature, where the energy is carried by photons of light. white reflectsradiant energy better than black. Absorption and Emission of Radiation

  16. Scales of Temperature • Fahrenheit scale • Freezing Point of Water: 32 degrees Fahrenheit • Boiling Point of Water: 212 degrees F. • Celsius scale • Freezing Point of Water: 0 degrees Celsius • Boiling Point of Water: 100 degrees C. • Kelvin Scale - 0 Degrees of Kelvin: This is at minus 273.15 degrees Celsius (or -523.67 F)!

  17. Temperature Conversion • Celsius = (Fahrenheit – 32)*5/9 • Fahrenheit = (Celsius * 9/5)+ 32 • Kelvin = Celsius + 273

  18. 29. Which of the following statements accurately describes what occurs as heat is added to water and change it to steam? A. The water molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster and father apart. B. The chemical bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of the water molecules break. C. The water molecules cluster together to form ring-shaped molecular structures. D. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms of the water molecules change in shape.
