It is cause. | It is effect |
It flows. | It doesn’t flows. |
Relation between different units of temperature
(C-0)/100 = (F-32)/180 = (F-273)/100
Q. Convert 37°C into Fahrenheit scale.
C = 37°C
F = ?
We have,
(C-0)/100 = (F-32)/180
37 x I80 = 10O x F – 3200
100 x F = 6600+3200
F= 98.6°F
Hence, 37°C = 98.6°F
Thermometer: Thermometer the device which is used to measure temperature of body.
Principle of thermometer: The principle of thermometer states “the substances expand on heating and contract on cooling.”
Thermometric liquid: The liquid which is used in thermometer is called thermometric liquid. Most commonly used thermometric liquids are mercury and alcohol.
Mercury as thermometric liquid
- It is shiny in appearance.
- It is non-sticky to the walls of container.
- It can measure very wide range of temperature as its melting point is -39°C and boiling point point is 357°C.
- It has uniform rate of expansion and contraction.
- It is very sensitive to heat because its specific heat capacity is very low.
Alcohol as thermometric liquid

Alcohol | -117°C | 78°C |
Q. Which thermometers is suitable to measure temperature at very hot places. Why?
Mercury thermometer is suitable to measure temperature at very hot places because it can measure high temperature ie up to 357°C.
Q. Which thermometer is suitable to measure the temperature at very cold place. why?

Types of thermometer
- Clinical thermometer/Doctor’s thermometer
- Laboratory thermometer/Simple thermometer
- Digital thermometer
- Maximum-minimum thermometer
A. Clinical thermometer
The thermometer which is used to measure the human body temperature is called clinical thermometer.
Features of clinical thermometer
- It is prismatic in shape.
- It is calibrated from 35°C – 42°C or 94°F – 108°F
- Constriction (kink) is kept near its bulb.
Q. Why is kink kept in clinical thermometer?
Kink is kept in clinical thermometer to prevent back flow of mercury in capillary tubes so that correct temperature of the body can be measured even when the thermometer is taken away from the body.
B. Laboratory thermometer
The thermometer which is used to measure the temperature of different substances during experiment is called Laboratory thermometer. It is also called simple thermometer.
Q. Write the differences between clinical and laboratory thermometer.
Clinical thermometer | Laboratory thermometer |
It is used to measure human body temperature. | It is used to measure temperature of different substrate during experiment. |
Kink is kept in it. | Kink is absent. |
It is calibrated from 35°C to 42°C. | It is calibrated from -10° to 110°C. |
It is called doctors thermometer | It called simple thermometer. |
C. Digital thermometer
The advance thermometer in which thermistor is used as thermometric substance and the temperature is displayed in digit with alarm beep is called digital thermometer.
D. Maximum-minimum Thermometer.
The thermometer that measure maximum and minimum temperature of a particular place of 24 hours is called maximum minimum thermometer.
Working of maximum-minimum thermometer
When temperature of atmospheric pressure increases, alcohol in minimum side expand which pushes the index of the side downwards so that mercury level side increases. The increased level of mercury pushes index of maximum side upwards and gives maximum temperature.
When the temperature of atmosphere decreases, the alcohol in minimum side contracts so that index of this side rises up as mercury of maximum side falls downward. This shows minimum temperature of a place.
In this way, a maximum and minimum thermometer measures maximum and minimum temperature of place.
Calorie heat: The amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of 1gm of water by 1°C is called 1 calorie heat.
Specific heat capacity (s): The amount of heat energy required to change temperature of 1 kg mass by 1°C is called specific heat capacity..
Unit of specific heat capacity is J/kg°C or Jkg-1°C-1
a. Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg°C. What does it mean?
It means that 4200J heat energy is required to change temperature of 1 kg water by 1°C.
b. Specific heat capacity of iron is 470 J/kg°C. What does it mean?
It means that 470J heat energy is required to change temperature of 1kg iron by 1°C.
c. Why is water used in the engines of automobiles?
The specific heat capacity of water is maximum so that it can absorb large amount of heat from the engine of automobiles and keeps them cool without raising its own temperature much. Hence, water is used in engines of automobiles.
d. Why is water used in hot water bag?
The specific heat capacity of water is maximum so that it remains hotter for longer duration and hot water bag can be used for long period of time. Hence, water is used in hot water bag.
e. Days are very hotter and night are much colder in desert. Why?
Desert mainly contain sand which has very low specific heat capacity so that sand gets heated very quickly to high temperature during the day and get cooled down very quickly to low temperature during night. Hence, days are very hot and nights are much cooler in desert.
f. Well or spring water is warmer in morning and colder in day. why?
Specific heat capacity of water is maximum so that its temperature remains almost same. The temperature of atmosphere is lower than the temperature of water in well spring in morning so that it is felt warmer but temperature of atmosphere is higher than temperature of water in well spring during day so that it is felt colder. Hence, well spring water are warmer in morning and calder in day.
Heat equation
We have heat energy gained or lost by a body is directly proportional to mass and its change in temperature. If heat energy gained or lost by a body of mass ‘m’ is ‘Q’ then its change in temperature (t2-t1) is dt
Now,
Q ∝ m …………. I
Q ∝ dt …………. II
Combining equation I and II we get,
Q ∝ m.dt
Q = s.m.dt
where s is the specific heat capacity of a body which is constant for that body.
Determining unit of specific heat capacity.
We have,
Q = s.m.dt
s = Q / m.dt
Now, S = J/kg°C or Jkg-1°C–
Hence, unit of S is J/kg°C or Jkg-1°C–
Q) Three substance with different specific heat capacities are given below in the table. Answer the questions on the basis of it.
A | 900 J/kg°C |
B | 1600 J/kg°C |
C | 800 J/kg°C |
a. The specific heat capacity of B is 1600 J/kg°C What does it mean?
It means that 1600 J is required to change temperature of a substance B of 1 kg mass by 1°C.
b. If equal amount of heat energy is given to equal mass of them, which one will have highest temperature. why?
If equal amount of heat energy is given to equal mass of them, C will have the highest temperature because it has the lowest specific heat capacity among them so its change in temperature occurs maximum.
c. Which one of them will require more heat if their temperature is raised equally. Why?
B will require more heat energy because its specific heat capacity is highest.
d. If equal mass of same temperature is kept on wax slab, which will penetrate it deeper? write.
If equal mass of same temperature are kept on wax, B will penetrate deeper because it has highest be specific heat capacity so it remains hot for a long time.
Principle of calorimetry: It states that, “When two bodies are in thermal equilibrium heat lost by a body is equal to heat gained by another body.”
i.e. Heat lost = Heat gain
s2m2(t1-t) = s2m2(t-t2)
Where, ’t’ is common temperature.

a. 19000J heat energy is given to water of mass 5kg at 10°C. What will be its final temperature. (specific heat Capacity of water is 4200J/kg°C)
Q = 19000J
s = 4200J/kg°C
m = 5kg
dt = ?
We know,
Q = s.m.dt
19000 = 4200 x 5 x dt
dt = 0.9°C
Again,
t1 = 10°C
t2 = ?
We have,
dt = t2 – t1
0.9 = t2 – 10
t2 = 10.9°C
Hence, Its final temperature will be to 9°C.

m = 2kg
t2 = 180°C
t1 = 10°C
dt = t2 – t1 = 180-10 = 170°C
s = 460J/kg°C
Q = ?
We know
Q = s.m.dt
Q = 460 x 2 x 170

s2 = 4200J/kg°C
dt2 = t – t2 = (t-10)°C
Heat gained = s2m2dt2 = 4200 x 10 x (t-10)
Now, we have
Heat lost = Heat gained
4200 x 5 x (60-t) = 4200 x 10 x (t-10)
60-t = 2 t-20
t = 80/3 = 26.67°C
Hence, mixture temperature is 26.67°C

For cold water,
m2 = 20kg
t2 = 20°C
s2 = 4200J/kg°C
dt2 = t – t2 = (t-20)°C
Heat gained = s2m2dt2 = 4200 x 20 x (t-20)
Now, we have

t1 = 90°C
s1 = 4200J/kc°C
dt1 = t1 – t = (90-t)°C
Heat lost = s1m1dt1 = 4200 x 0.2 x (90-t)
For cold water,
m2 = 100ml = 100/1000 = 0.1 l = 0.1 kg
t2 = 15°C
s2 = 4200J/kg°C
dt2 = t – t2 = (t-15)°C
Heat gained = s2m2dt2 = 4200 x 0.1 x (t-15)
Now, we have
