Exploring Temperature, Expansion, and the Ideal Gas Law: Key Concepts in Thermodynamics
This PowerPoint covers temperature, thermal expansion, and the ideal gas law. It begins by discussing the atomic nature of matter, referencing Brownian motion and Avogadro’s number. The presentation then explores temperature measurement, highlighting Galileo’s early thermometers and their limitations. It introduces the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, explaining thermal equilibrium and temperature scales. Thermal expansion is discussed, including the coefficient of linear and volume expansion, with practical examples like the expansion of metals and liquids. The presentation also covers Boyle’s Law, Charles′s Law, and the ideal gas law, relating pressure, volume, and temperature in gases. The exercise demonstrates how the ideal gas law can be used to solve real-world problems.
