In your everyday life and in your study of Chemistry, you are likely to encounter three different temperature scales. When you watch the weather report on the news, they will report the temperature on one scale, yet you measure temperature in the laboratory on a different scale.
Kelvin is what is known as an absolute temperature scale. This means that its possible values begin at 0.0 K, the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases.
The 4-page Chemistry (or physical science) Thermometer Reading and Temperature Conversions Worksheet Set was designed for middle and high school students just learning about how to read a thermometer or learning to convert between temperature scales.
6) Using the temperature conversion formula on Table T in your Reference Tables, convert the following temperatures to either Celsius or Kelvin. (1 pt for each conversion)
(a) At a given temperature, the temperature value is a measure of the total kinetic energy of all the molecules. (b) At a given temperature, all the particles have the same amount of kinetic energy.
temperature Scales Temperature is a quantitative measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object. Scientists most commonly use the Celsius and Kelvin scales.
Table 1 lists the base units for length, mass, volume, temperature, time and chemical amount, along with their abbreviations and their relationships to common United States units. Table 1: Seven fundamental units in the SI system.
