OBJECTIVES
  • To distinguish the concepts of heat and temperature.

  • To understand how a thermometer works.  

  • To understand the effect of heat exchange on the temperature of a body or its state of aggregation.

  • To define the concept of equilibrium temperature, and to use it to determine the equilibrium temperatures or calorimetric magnitudes in mixtures of substances with different temperatures.
