Document Summary

Temperature (t ): a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules of an object or substance. ** atoms moving faster means greater kinetic energy, which means the substance will have a higher t . * amount of heat is dependent on volume or mass of an object; the t of an object is not dependent on its volume or mass. Ex: an 8 oz glass of water and a filled bath tub can have the same t , but will not have the same amount of heat because of different volumes. 0 32 273 boiling pt of water 100 212 373 range. * 0 k = no molecular motion or absolute zero which = -273 c = * c = (f - 32 ) x 5/9 f = (c x 9/5) + 32 . K = c + 273 or c = k - 273.
