    Heat is a form of energy that flows from hot bodies to cold bodies, measured in joules. Temperature is the degree of hotness, measured in kelvin, using a thermometer. Heat depends on the kinetic and potential energy of molecules, while temperature depends on average kinetic energy. Mercury is used in thermometers as it easily expands with temperature changes. The Celsius scale is used to describe temperatures on Earth, with freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C. As objects are heated, the average kinetic energy of their molecules increases.

    11. The temperature of the sun is 5778 K. What is the corresponding value in the Celsius and
    Fahrenheit scale? (4 marks)
    ANS: K = 5778 K
    C = K – 273 (1 mark)
     C = 5778 – 273 = 5505 °C
    C = 5505 °C (1 mark)
    C/5 = (F – 32) /9 (1 mark)
     5505/5 = (F - 32) / 9
     1101 = (F – 32) /9
     1101 x 9 = (F – 32)
     9909 = F – 32
     F = 9909 + 32
     F = 9941 °F (1 mark)
    12. Tori wanted to bake a cake. The instructions says to bake the cake at 356 °F. However, her oven
    only has Celsius readings marked on it. What temperature setting should Tori set her oven to
    bake her cake? (3 marks)
    ANS: F = 356 °F
    C/5 = (F – 32)/9 (1 mark)
     C/5 = (356 – 32) / 9 (1 mark)
     C/5 = (324)/9
     C/5 = 36
     C = 36 x 5
     C = 180 °C (1 mark)

    13. What happens to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of water when it is heated from
    280 K to 310 K? Give reason for your answer. (2 marks)
    ANS: The average kinetic energy increases with the increase in temperature. This is because with
    increasing temperature, the molecules begin to vibrate faster leading to an increase in their
    overall kinetic energy.

    14. At what temperature are the Celsius and Fahrenheit scale equal? (3 marks)
    ANS: Let the temperature be “x” in both Celsius and Fahrenheit scale.
    i.e. C = F = x
    Thus, C/5 = (F – 32) / 9 (1 mark)
     x/5 = (x – 32)/9
     9x/5 = (x – 32)
     9x = 5 (x – 32)
     9x = 5x – 160
     9x – 5x = -160
     4x = -160
     x = -160/4
     x = -40 (1 mark)

    Thus -40 °C is equal to -40 °F. (1 mark)

    15. Meera is packing her bags to travel to Male. The temperature Male was found to be 95 °F. Should
    Meera pack her sweaters? Give reason for your answer. (3 marks)
    ANS: F = 95 °F
    C/5 = (F – 32) / 9 (1 mark)
    C/5 = (95 – 32) /9
    C/5 = 63/9
    C/5 = 7
    C = 7 x 5 = 35 °C (1 mark)
    Meera need not pack her sweaters as the temperature of 35 °C is quite hot. (1 mark)

    16. Jed is storing ice cream in the warehouse. The labels on the ice cream packaging advise to store
    below -5 °C. There are two freezers in the warehouse – A and B. The temperature setting of
    freezer A is 15 °F and that of freezer B is 25 °F. Which freezer should Jed choose and why? (3
    marks).
    ANS: C = -5 °C
    C/5 = (F – 32) /9 (1 mark)
    -5/5 = (F – 32)/9
    -1 = (F – 32) /9
    -1 x 9 = (F – 32)
    -9 = (F – 32)
     F = -9 + 32
     F = 23 °F (1 mark)

    The temperature advised on the ice cream packaging recommends temperature below 23 °F.
    Hence Jed needs to choose Freezer A which has a lower temperature setting of 15 °F. (1 mark)

    17. Sue’s houseplant needs to be kept at a temperature above 50 °F. Her room is at 15 °C. Is the room
    warm enough for the houseplant? Give reason for your answer. (3 marks)

    ANSWER

    F = 50 °F

    C/5 = (F – 32) /9 (1 mark)

    C/5 = (50 – 32) /9

    C/5 = 18/9

    C/5 = 2

    C=2x5

    C = 10 °C (1 mark)
    18. State the temperature reading of the given thermometer in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. (2
    marks)
    19. ANSWER
    20.C = - 4 °C
    21.F ~ 24 °F

    22. The average temperature of Colorado has increased by 0.02 °F annually. If the temperature in
    1990 was 10 °F, what will be the temperature in 2001? What is the increase in the temperature
    as per Celsius scale? (4 marks)
    ANSWER
    Initial temperature in Colorado (1990)
    F1 = 10 °F
    C1 = (5/9) x (F1 – 32) (1 mark)
    C1 = (5/9) x (10 – 32)
    C1 = (5/9) x (-22)
    Increase in temperature in 11 years (2001 – 1990) = 0.02 x 11 = 0.22 °F (1 mark)
    Thus temperature in 2001, F2 = 10 + 0.22 = 10.22 °F
    ∴ C2 = (5/9) x (10.22 – 32)
     C2 = (5/9) x (-21.78)
    Thus, rise in temperature as per Celsius scale = C2 – C1 (1 mark)
    = [(5/9) x (-21.78)] - [(5/9) x (-22)]
     (5/9) x [-21.78 - (-22)] = (5/9) x (0.22)
     (5/9) x (0.22)
     1.1 / 9 = 0.122 °C (1 mark)
