Measuring Temperature

What is Temperature? Laboratory Thermometer

1. The temperature of a substance tells us Mercury or Normal body tempe rature

how hot or co ld the substance is. coloured 36.90C
2. Temperature is measured with a alcohol
20 30 40
thermometer .
3. The unit for temperature is the degree
0
98.4 OF
Celsius ( C).
4. Sometimes the unit used for temperature Bore TI1ick glass
is the Kelvin(K). onstriction (narrmmess) of bore
5. Pure water boils at 100 °C and freezes at 0
0
c under normal atmospheric pressure. 1. Special features:
6. The temperature at which a substance a) Usually measures temperature from -10

boils is called its boiling point. °Cto 110°C

7. The temperature at which a substance b) has a long glass tube with a graduated

melts is called its melting point. nirrow bore.

Difference between Temperature
and Heat
1. Temperature tells us how hot or cold a
substa nce is.
2. Heat is a form of energy which makes a
substance hot.
3. Heat energy is measured in jou les (J).
4. In the figure below, the water in beaker P
contains twice as much heat as the water
in beaker Q but both areequally hot as the
read ings on the thermometer show.
c) has a thin-yvalled glass bulb containing
mercury.
2. How it works:
When the bulb of the thermometer is
cooled, the mercury in it contracts and falls
down the tube.
3. How to use the thermometer :
a) Hold the thermometer by the glass
tube.(Never hold it by the bulb).
b) When taking a reading, the
thermometer must be upright so that
the meniscus is level with your eyes.
c) Read the top of the meni scus.

. 4. Precautions to take:
• a) When reading the temperature of a
ii liquid, do not take the thermometer out
of the liquid.
b)Take the temperature reading only when
the mercury has stopp ed ri sing or falling .

Water in beaker P contains mor e heat then water in
