STUDY QUESTIONS

Temperature And Its Measurement ICSE Class-7th Goyal Brothers Physics Solutions Chapter-5 Unit-2

Question: 1. What is a thermometer? Describe briefly the construction of Celsius thermometer.

Answer: A thermometer has a glass tube sealed at both ends and is partly filled with a liquid like mercury or alcohol. As the temperature around the thermometer’s bulb heats up, the liquid rises in the glass tube. The glass tube is mounted on a backboard that is marked in units called degrees.

Question: 2. (a) What do you understand by the term “standard points of a thermometer?

Answer: The fixed temperatures marked on the stem of the thermometer by the common consent of scientists are known as standard points of the thermometer.

(b) Define lower standard point and state its value in °C, °F and Kelvin.

Answer: Lower standard point Or ice point is the temperature of pure melting ice at normal atmospheric pressure the value in C is – 273.15°C and in K is 0k.

(c) Define upper standard point and state its value in °C, °F and Kelvin.

Answer: The upper standard point in °C is 100°C. The upper standard point in kelvin is 373 K. The upper standard point in °F is 212 °F.

Question: 3. State three most important qualities of thermometric liquid.

Answer: The heat energy absorbed from the body whose temperature is being measured by the thermometric liquid should be very small. The expansion of thermometric liquid should be uniform. The boiling point of thermometric liquid should be very high and the freezing point should be very low.

Question: 4. Why is mercury used as thermometric liquid? Give three reasons.

Answer: Mercury is used as a thermometric liquid because of the following reasons:

  1. The heat required for the expansion of mercury is very little, thus the temperature of a body can be easily recorded without changing its temperature.
  2. Mercury is having a high boiling point of 357°C, so it can be used to record temperatures as high as 357°C.
  3. The freezing point of mercury is -39°C, so it can record temperatures as low as -39°C.

Question: 5. Why is alcohol used as thermometric liquid in certain situations? Give two reasons.

Answer: Alcohol is used as a thermometric liquid in certain situations because of the following reasons:

  1. The freezing point of alcohol is less than -100°C, so we can measure very low temperature using an alcohol thermometer.
  2. The expansion of alcohol is more than that of mercury for the same rise or fall of temperature, hence alcohol thermometer can measure temperature more accurately.
  3. The bright color of alcohol makes it easy to see on the glass capillary tube.

Question: 6. State the formulae for converting temperature in celsuis scale into (a) Kelvin scale (b) Fahrenheit scale.

Answer: Formula for conversion of Celsius scale into Kelvin scale:-

Temperature in kelvin scale = Temperature in Celsius scale + 273

⇒ Temperature in K = Temperature in °C + 273

Formula for conversion of Celsius scale into Fahrenheit scale:-

Temperature in Fahrenheit scale = 9C/5+32

Where C in the temperature in °C

Question: 7. Convert 149°F into (a) °C, (b) Kelvin

Answer: (a) Temperature in Celsius scale, C = 5/9 (F-32)

                                                         were F → Temperature in Fahrenheit scale

               Temperature in Celsius scale, C = 5/9 (149-32)

                                                                ⇒  C = 5/9 (117)

                                                                ⇒  C = 65°C

                                               Hence, 149°F = 65°

(b) Conversion of 149°F into Kelvin:

From (a) 149°F = 65°C

Temperature in Kalvin = Temperature in °C + 273

                                          = 65+273

                                          = 338 K

                Hence, 149°F = 338 K

Question: 8. Convert -13°F into (a) °C, (b) Kelvin

Answer: (a) Temperature in Celsius scale, C = 5/9 (F-32)

                                                         were F → Temperature in Fahrenheit scale

               Temperature in Celsius scale, C = 5/9 (-13-32)

                                                                ⇒  C = 5/9 (-45)

                                                                ⇒  C = -25°C

                                               Hence, -13°F = -25°

(b) Conversion of 149°F into Kelvin:

From (a) 149°F = -25°C

Temperature in Kalvin = Temperature in °C + 273

                                          = -25+273

                                          = 248 K

                 Hence, -13°F = 248 K

Question: 9. Convert 75°C into (a) Kelvin  (b) °F

Answer: (a) Temperature in K = Temperature in °C + 273

                                                  = 75 + 273

                                                  = 348 K.

(b)Temperature in °F = 9C/5 + 32

                                   = 9 × 75 /5 + 32

                                   = 167 °F

Step 2: Conversion of 75°C into kelvin:

Question: 10. Convert -30°C into (a) Kelvin (b) °F

Answer: (a) Temperature in K = Temperature in °C + 273

                                                  = -30 + 273

                                                  = 243 K.

(b)Temperature in °F = 9C/5 + 32

                                   = 9 × (-30) /5 + 32

                                   = -22 °F
