4.1 Understanding Thermal Equilibrium

Aras : Menilai

We can not use Laboratory thermometer to measure our body temperature.

Why? Termometer makmal tidak boleh digunakan untuk mengukur suhu badan.
Kenapa?
..
Answer : There is no kink in laboratory thermometer. Therefore the
temperature will fall as soon as we remove the thermometer from the mouth &
we will not be able to measure the correct temperature of the body.

Why is mercury used in thermometer? Mengapakah merkuri digunakan di dalam
thermometer? ..
Answer : Mercury is used in thermometer because of following reasons:
i) It does not stick to the walls of capillary tube.
ii) Its silvery shine helps us to see temperature

accurately.

iii) Its expansion is uniform.

iv) It does not vaporize easily.
4.1 Understanding Thermal Equilibrium Aras : Aplikasi / Menilai Suppose
you are given the choice in winter of using either one thick blanket or two
thin blankets joined together. What would you choose & why? Anda diberi
pilihan ketika musim sejuk untuk menggunakan satu selimut tebal atau dua
selimut nipis yang digabungkan bersama. Yang manakah akan anda pilih dan
kenapa?
..
Answer: We prefer two thin blankets joined together because the air trapped
between two blankets acts as an insulator and does not allow the body heat to
escape. 4.1 Understanding Specific Latent Heat Aras : Menilai Why does
100C steam is more injurious to the skin than boiling water? Mengapakah
100C wap akan menyebabkan kecederaan yang lebih teruk kepada kulit
daripada air mendidih?
.
Answer : The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
At this temperature the water will begin to change from the
liquid state to the gas state. In order for this change to take
place, additional energy is required. In fact, every kg of liquid
water requires 2.26106 Joules of heat energy just to convert it
to steam. This is called the Lantent Heat of Vaporization. During
the conversion process, temperature does not increase. It is,
therefore, possible to have both liquid water and steam that exist
at 100 degrees Celsius. While they both would exist at the same
temperature, the steam would have a lot more heat energy due to
the additional 2.26106 Joules per kilogram of heat energy that has
