 Lesson Temperature and Zeroth Law of
1 Thermodynamics

What I Need to Know

We always associate the word temperature for something that is hot or

cold wherein a body that feels hot has a higher temperature and a body that feels
cold has a lower temperature. But sometimes our senses can mislead us for
example a two object: a metal cup and plastic tray was removed in the freezer
when you touch these two objects the metal cup is much colder compared to the
plastic tray eventhough they came from the same freezer. What we'd like may be
a reliable and reproducible method for measuring the relative hotness or
coldness of objects instead of the speed of energy transfer .

In this module you will understand the connection between the Zeroth Law of
Thermodynamics, temperature, thermal equilibrium, and temperature skills.

What’s New

1. Put the two Styrofoam cup side by side label it as A and B.
2. Pour half cup of boiling water into the cup A and B. In the cup B pour a little
amount of tap water
3. Measure the temperatures of the Cup A and B.
4. Leave the cups for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes measure the temperature
again.

Guide Questions. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1. What is the temperature of the cup A and cup B in the first reading? What is
the temperature of the water in cup A and B after 10 minutes? Do they have
the same temperature reading?
2. What does temperature reading tells you?
3. Convert the temperature of cup A into ºF and K.

What Is It

We are familiar with the ideas such as heat and temperature in our daily
lives. But what are the underlying physical phenomena underlying these
concepts? The field of science concerned with describing heat and its
relationship with energy is called thermodynamics.
The word thermodynamics comes from the Greek words therme, meaning
“heat” and dynamicos meaning “movement”. It is not just the study of heat and
work alone but instead it is the study of the dynamics and behavior of energy and
its manifestations. It is said that energy is the only thing that keeps things going
which is very true. Thermodynamics is considered be one of the most important
parts of our daily life.

Zeroth Law of thermodynamics

When two objects at different initial temperature reaches the same
temperature at some point they are now in thermal equilibrium. We can discover an
important property of thermal equilibrium by considering three systems, A, B, and C,
that initially are not in thermal equilibrium (Fig.1 ). We enclosed it with an ideal
insulating box so that they cannot interact with anything except each other .

FIGURE 1

Figure 1. Closed System . If system C is initially in thermal equilibrium with both

system A and system B, then system A and system B are also in thermal equilibrium with
each other this is called the zeroth law of thermodynamics. Temperature is the property
that determines whether an object is in thermal equilibrium or not.

Note: Two systems are in thermal equilibrium if and only if they have the same
temperature. 2
Temperature Scales

Thermometer is a device used to measure temperature of a system. The

three common scales that is used for measuring temperature are the Fahrenheit,
Celsius and Kelvin Scales.

1. Celsius temperature scale – it is the common scale that is usually used to

measure temperature. In Celsius the 0º Celsius is the freezing point and
100ºC is the boiling point.

5
T C = (T F −32 °)
9

2. Fahrenheit Scale - This scale sets the temperature of the ice point at 32°F
and the temperature of the steam point at 212°F.

3. Kelvin Scale – any temperature on the Kelvin scale can be change into
Celsius by adding 273 on it.
K=C+273

Example:

1. Convert 50ºC into ºF

Equation:

9 O
T F = ( 50 ) +32 F
0
Solution:
5
0 0
T F =90 +32 F
T F =122℉

2. Convert 40℉ into℃

5
T C = ( T F −32° )

 Lesson

2 Thermal Expansion

What’s In

You have learned in lesson 1, connection between the Zeroth Law of

Thermodynamics, temperature, thermal equilibrium, and temperature skills and how
to solve the temperature scales.

In this module, you will learn how thermal expansions work especially in
roads, houses and etc.

What I Need to Know

In this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Explain the importance of thermal and volume expansion

2. Solve the volume or length changes of solids due to changes in temperatures.

What’s New

I. Direction: Analyze each questions and answer the following.

1. You have a difficulty in opening the metal lid of your jam jar. What will you
choose: a) dip it in a cold water:; b) dip it in a hot water? Why?

2. Why are the wire that is connected in the posts outside are lightly saggy not
tightly tied by the line man?

3. What do you think is the reason why there are always a small gaps in the road
even in a tiled floor?

5
 What Is It

Have you experienced a difficulty in opening a tightly metal lid jar? There is an
easy way in opening it just dip the metal lid in a hot water and wait for a couple of
second and you can now easily open it. This is due to thermal expansion of the
materials especially metals and liquids.

Thermal Expansion

Thermal expansion occurs once an object is heated the molecules tends to

get excited and move faster and take up more space that tends the materials to
expand or contract.

Thermal expansion plays an important role in numerous engineering

applications like buildings, concrete
highways, railroad tracks, brick walls, and
bridges to compensate for dimensional
changes that occur as the temperature
changes. Figure 1 shows a toothlike
seams which can be seen in some
bridges. This toothlike seams is called as
expansion joint this intentionally made by
the engineers since this expansion joints
move together as the bridge expands in
hot weather and contracts in a cold
FIGURE 1. EXPANSION JOINTS

LINEAR EXPANSION

Suppose a metal rod of material has a length l o at some initial temperature T O

,When the temperature changes by ∆ T the length changes by ∆ L Experiments
show that if ∆ T is not too large (say, less than 100 ºC or so), ∆ L is directly
proportional to ∆ L (Fig. 2a). If two rods made of the same material have the same
temperature change, but one is twice as long as the other, then the change in its
length is also twice as great. Therefore ∆ L must also be proportional to LO (Fig. 2b).
Introducing a proportionality constant (which is different for different materials), we
may express these relationships in an equation:

∆ L=α LO ∆ T (Linear thermal expansion)

If a body has length LOat a temperature T o, then its length L at a temperature

T =T O +∆ T is,

6
The constant α which describes the thermal expansion properties of a particular
material, is called the coefficient of linear expansion. The units of α are K-1 or C-1.

FIGURE 2a FIGURE 2b

TABLE 1. COEFFICIENT OF LINEAR EXPANSION

VOLUME EXPANSION

The change in volume is directly proportional to the initial volume V i and to the
change in temperature according to the relationship

V=βVi∆T

where β is the average coefficient of volume expansion of the substance. For a solid
materials, the average coefficient of volume expansion is three times the average
linear expansion coefficient: β=3 α

TABLE 2: COEFFICENT OF VOLUME EXPANSION

SAMPLE PROBLEMS:

Lesson
 3 Heat and Heat Capacity

What’s In

In your past lesson, you learned that heat flows from a substance with a
higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature. If the two substance
transfer energies one substance will lose it energies and the other substance will
gain energies from the other substance.

In this module, you will learn the heat capacity and its application in our daily
lives.

What I Need to Know

In this lesson, you are expected to

1. Explain specific heat

2. Solve problems involving specific heat

What Is It

Have you ever wonder why the pizza sauce is hotter than the crust even
though they are removed from the oven at the same time? This is because of the
specific heat of the cheese and the crust. The cheese has a high specific heat
compared to crust meaning the cheese gives more heat faster than the crust. This is
also the reason why the sand is hotter compared to water in the beach even though
they are exposed by the same source which is the sun.

10
HEAT CAPACITY AND SPECIFIC HEAT
 The heat capacity of a particular sample is defined as the amount of energy
needed to raise the temperature of that sample by 1°C. From this definition, we see
that if energy Q produces a change ∆ T in the temperature of a sample, then

Q=C ∆ T

The specific heat c of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass.
Therefore, if energy Q transfers to a sample of a substance with mass m and the
temperature of the sample changes by ∆ T , the specific heat of the substance is
Q
c=
m∆T
Or we can rewrite it as,
Q=mc ∆ T

Where Q = heat
m- mass of the substance
∆ T =temperature cℎange

TABLE 1. SPECIFIC HEATS OF SOME SUBSTANCE AT 25℃ AND

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

Sample Problem:

1. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 3kg of aluminum 8K?
j
Step 1: Given: m = 3 kg; c al =900 ∙℃ ;∆ T =8 K
kg
Step 2: Equation: Q=mc ∆ T

Step 3 : Solution: Q= (3 kg ) ( 900 J /kg ∙℃ )( 8 K )

Q=57 600 J

2. What is the temperature of the 11

mixture if 0.6 kg of alcohol at 60 ℃ is added to
0.5 kg alcohol at 20℃ in polysterene cup?
 Step 1: Given: mℎot =0.6 kg ; T ℎot=60 ℃ − T
mcold =0.5 kg ; T cold=T − 20℃
c=4180 J /kg ∙ K
Step 2: Qhot =Q cold
mℎot c ∆ T ℎot =mcold c ∆ T cold
Step 3 : Solution:
( 0.6 kg )( 4180 J /kg ∙ K )( 60 ℃ −T )=( 0.5 kg ) ( 4180 J / kg ∙ K )(T − 20℃)
36 kg ℃ − 0.6 kg T =0.5 kg T −10 kg ℃
− 0.6 kg T − 0.5 kg T =−10 kg ℃ − 36 kg ℃
−1 {( − 1.1kg T )=− 46 kg ℃ }
1.1kg T 46 kg ℃
=
1.1 kg 1.1 kg
T =41℃
