14.1 Temperature

Question 1

Define triple point

Answer 1

One specific temperature and pressure where all 3 phases of a substance can exist in thermal equilibrium

Question 2

Define thermal equilibrium

Answer 2

A state in which there is no net flow of thermal energy between the objects involved ( objects involved must be at the same temperature )

Question 3

When one object is hotter than the other there is…
The effect on the temperatures is that…

Answer 3

A net flow of thermal energy from the hotter to colder object
The hotter object decreases in temperature whereas the colder object increases with temperature

Question 4

Define the Celsius scale

Answer 4

A temperature scale with 100 degrees between the freezing pint and boiling point of pure water ( at atmospheric pressure )

Question 5

Define absolute temperature scale

Answer 5

Scale used to measure temperature based on absolute zero and the tripe point of pure water with gradations equal to the Celsius scale
