TEMPERATURE

TEMPERATURE
Temperature is a measure of the
average kinetic energy of the
particles in an object. When
temperature increases, the motion of
these particles also increases.
Formula

▶Celsius to Fahrenheit
°F= (°C × 9/5) + 32
Example: 0°C to °F
(0°C × 9/5) + 32 = 32°F

▶Fahrenheit to Celsius
°C= (°F - 32) × 5/9
Example: 212 °F to °C
(212°F - 32) × 5/9 =100 °C
▶Celsius to Kelvin
K=°C + 273.15
Example: 10 °C to K
= 10 + 273.15
= 283.15 K

▶Kelvin to Celsius
° C = K − 273.15
Example: 390 K to °C
= (390 – 273.15) = 116.85 oC
▶Kelvin to Fahrenheit
Formula: ° F = 9/5(K – 273.15) + 32 or
° F = 1.8(K – 273.15) + 32

Example: 293 K to ° F
° F = 9/5 (293 - 273) + 32
° F = 9/5(19.85) + 32
° F = 35.73 + 32
° F = 67.73
▶Fahrenheit to Kelvin
Formula: K = 5/9(F - 32) + 273.15
Example: 50 ° F to K
K= 5/9 (° F-32) +273.15
= 5/9 (50-32) +273.15
= 5/9 (18) +273.15
= 10 +273.15
= 283.15
Exercises:

1. 41 °F to °C
2. 20 °C to °F
3. 98 °C to K
Answer:
1. 41 °F to °C
°C= (°F -32) × 5/9
°C= (41 -32) × 5/9
°C= 5

2. 20 °C to °F
°F= (°C × 9/5) + 32
°F= (20 × 9/5) + 32
°F= 68

3. 98 °C to K
K= °C+ 273.15
K= 98+ 273.15
K= 371.15
