8. 12.2 The Kelvin Temperature Scale Kelvin temperature scale has greater scientific significance. It was introduced by Kelvin (1824–1907). A temperature of 300 K (not 300 °K) is read as “three hundred kelvins,” not “three hundred degrees kelvin.” The kelvin is the SI base unit for temperature.

9. Constant-volume Gas Thermometer

10. Absolute Zero Temperature

11. The temperature at which the absolute pressure of the gas is zero, is the absolute temperature. It is found to be –273.15 0 C or 0 K.

12. The Kelvin Temperature The Kelvin temperature is obtained by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature as follows,

14. 0 C and C 0 Q: What is the difference between degrees Celsius ( 0 C) and Celsius degrees (C 0 )? A: Temperature is expressed in degrees Celsius ( 0 C) and temperature difference is expressed in Celsius degrees (C 0 ).

15. Converting Temp Differences

17. 12.3 Thermometers All thermometers make use of the change in some physical property with temperature. A property that changes with temperature is called a thermometric property.

24. The change in length is given by the following equation, where α is the coefficient of linear expansion.

25. Area Expansion The area A 0 of an object changes by an amount  when its temperature changes by an amount  T: where α is the coefficient of linear expansion.

26. Volume Expansion The volume V 0 of an object changes by an amount  V when its temperature changes by an amount  T: where  is the coefficient of volume expansion.

37. The Expansion of Holes Do Holes Expand or Contract When the Temperature Increases? Answer: Expand.

38. Unusual Expansion of Water Most substances contract upon cooling. But, water expands while cooling from 4 0 C until it freezes.

39. Water Temperature of a Frigid Cold Lake The fact that water has its greatest density at 4 °C, rather than at 0 °C, has important consequences for the way in which a lake freezes. When the air temperature drops, the surface layer of water is chilled. As the temperature of the surface layer drops toward 4 °C, this layer becomes more dense than the warmer water below. The denser water sinks and pushes up the deeper and warmer water, which in turn is chilled at the surface. This process continues until the temperature of the entire lake reaches 4 °C. Further cooling of the surface water below 4 °C makes it less dense than the deeper layers; consequently, the surface layer does not sink but stays on top. Continued cooling of the top layer to 0 °C leads to the formation of ice hat floats on the water, because ice has a smaller density than water at any temperature. Below the ice, however, the water temperature remains above 0 °C. The sheet of ice acts as an insulator that reduces the loss of heat from the lake, especially if the ice is covered with a blanket of snow, which is also an insulator. As a result, lakes usually do not freeze solid, even during prolonged cold spells, so fish and other aquatic life can survive.
