6
Q

A temperature scale in which 32dF represents the freezing point and 212dF the boiliding point of water under standard atmospheric pressure.

A

Fahreinheit Scale

when you know degrees Celsius, first mltiply by 9/5 and then add 32 to find degrees Fahrenheit.

7
Q

A temperature scale divided into 100 degrees, in which 0dC represents the freezing point and 100dC the boiling point of water under standard atmospheric pressure.

A

Celsius Scale or Centigrade Scale

When you know degrees Fahrenheit first subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9 to find degrees Celsius.

12
Q

Heat capacity per unit mass of a substance: the number of Btu required to raise the temperature of one pound of a substance 1dF, or the number of calories per gram per degree centigrade.

A

Specific Heat

13
Q

The quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance during a change in phase at constant temperature and pressure.

A

Latent Heat

14
