Ch-08: Thermal Properties of Matter
After studying this unit, the students will be able to:
- Define temperature (as quantity which determines the direction of flow of thermal energy).
- Define heat (as the energy transferred resulting from the temperature difference between two objects).
- List basic thermometric properties for a material to construct a thermometer.
- Convert the temperature from one scale to another
- Describe rise in temperature of a body in terms of an increase in its internal energy.
- Define the terms heat capacity and specific heat capacity.
- Describe heat of fusion and heat of vaporization.
- Describe experiments to determine heat of fusion and heat of vaporization of ice and water respectively by sketching temperature-time graph on heating ice.
