2.2 Compare + contrast the Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Celsius temperature scales and be able to convert values between scales.
Today we use three temperature scales. The first of these scales was Fahrenheit scale. It was developed in 1714 by German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. He developed first mercury thermometer after being inspired by alcohol thermometer invented by Danish scientist Olaus Roemer. Fahrenheit made it more precise by multiplying his scale by four. He establish zero by mixing equal amount of water, ice and salt. Then he mixed just equal amount of ice and salt, and scales gave him next point 32. The last point he establish by using body temperature which was approximately 96. After his death his scale was adjusted to 32 as melting temperature of plain water, normal body temperature at 98.6 and boiling point of plain water at 212. Fahrenheit temperature scale was widely replaced by Celsius scale, except USA and some Caribbean countries. Celsius scale was developed in 1742 by Swedish astronomer Andres Celsius. When he was developing his scale, he marked 0 as boiling point and 100 as freezing point. This scale was known as centigrade. After his death in 1948 The Conference General des Poids et Measures renamed this scale to Celsius and establish the scale as we know it today. Melting point at 0 degree and boiling point at 100 degrees. This scale is the most use scale in the world. The last scale we use today is Kelvin scale. This scale has an advantage
Step 3: Use the thermometer to identify and record the temperature for room temperature, in your refrigerator, in your freezer, and then research the temperature of boiling water (do not take this temperature) and record them in Table 2.
Used to see if the temperature of the water is at 37oc – 40oc and if
29. When the thermometer reads 40°C, carry the beaker out of the heating apparatus with a beaker tong.
One possible source of error that can affect the results was that a mercury thermometer was used instead of an electronic one. The use of a mercury
In this lab experiment our main focus was to get skillful in using tools such as the metric ruler, balances, thermometer, and graduated cylinder to capture measurements of length, mass, temperature and volume. Additionally, this lab helped us to become more familiar with the uncertainty of measurements, as well as becoming efficient with rounding our measurements to the correct numbers of significant figures. Our results are measured consistently with rounding to the closest answer we could possibly acquire as the data can tell you.
4. Continue this process until data is obtained for at least six different temperatures. Be sure that the temperatures represent a large range of values in order to help you answer questions about the relationship between temperature and volume.
13. The temperature of the water was measured prior to the tube being placed in it and the temperature of the Hydrochloric Acid was measured after it 's temperature had adjusted.
Again with the same temperatures of one degree, eleven degrees, twenty degrees, thirty degrees, and forty degrees. All the temperatures are in Celsius. The one degree C time is at 24.59 seconds, only two seconds off from the first trial. The eleven degrees C time has 20.39 seconds. At twenty degrees C, the data showed the time was 15.54 seconds. Thirty degrees C had the lowest time of the thirty degrees group, at 8.97. The last temperature was forty degrees C with the lowest time at 7.28 (See appendix two). All the data for trial two supports the hypothesis for this
A scale conversion is calculated and the measurements from each thermometer are examined to see how closely correlated they are. _M___
5.) Measure out 20ml of water from 4 different parts of the wetland and place it into four different beakers. Measure the temperature with the thermometer and record the results
1. Gathered all required materials to designated lab bench. 2. Considered all safety precautions including the prevention of spilling water to avoid falls, handling glassware carefully to prevent shattering, avoiding long periods of working with warm water to avoid burns and avoiding the digestion/inhalation of by-products produced after the reaction (e.g. ethanol and carbon dioxide gas). 3.
The room temperature was measured throughout the lab and kept constant at 24°C (+/- 1°C), as the lab was conducted during the same time of
Once the range is obtained, remove the thermometer and beaker. Pour out the hot water and allow both the thermometer and the beaker to cool. Once cool, repeat the previous steps with the second compound, tetradecanol. At the conclusion of the second experiment, repeat the steps for a third and final time using an equal mixture of both compounds. Be sure to record the melting point range for all three experiments.
To achieve this, the final value from each thermocouple was set to be equal to the warm water bath temperature (370C), and the initial reading was set equal to the ice water bath temperature. Thus, for each thermocouple an equation was obtained using the two points to convert voltage readings to temperature. An example of the calibration for one of the thermocouples is shown in Appendix II.
Rinse the thermometer with tap water and dry. Insert the thermometer in the calorimeters top and measure the initial temperature of the base 28.2∘C
