Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance or system. It quantifies how hot or cold an object or environment is.

What are the commonly used temperature scales?

The commonly used temperature scales are Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). Celsius and Fahrenheit are used in everyday life, while Kelvin is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications.

What is the freezing point of water in Celsius and Fahrenheit?

The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius (°C) and 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

What is the boiling point of water in Celsius and Fahrenheit?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (°C) and 212 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

How does temperature affect the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids?

Temperature affects the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids in various ways. Generally, as temperature increases, gases expand and their particles move faster. Liquids also expand but to a lesser extent. Solids may expand or contract depending on the material. Moreover, temperature changes can cause phase transitions, such as the melting of a solid into a liquid or the vaporization of a liquid into a gas.

Temperature

● Definition: Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body which decides the direction of flow of heat

● Units: S.I- Kelvin K
Common units- Celsius ⁰C
Fahrenheit ⁰F

● Device: Thermometer

● Three scales:

1 div on Celsius scale = 1 div on Kelvin scale = 1.8 div on Fahrenheit scale

● Fixed points:

● Relations:

C = 5/9 (F-32)

F= 9/5 C + 32

K= 273 + C

C= K- 273
