1. What is the purpose of having a standard thermometer?
2. Name three thermometric properties and give examples of when each should be used.
3. Describe the diff erence between heat and temperature.
4. Convert the following temperatures to kelvin:
(i) 0 °C
(ii) 150 °C (iii) 100 °C
5. Convert the following temperatures to Celsius:
(i) 273.15 K (ii) 373.15 K (iii) 0 K
6. The length of a column of mercury is 5 cm at 0 °C (melting ice) and 31.5 cm at 100 °C (steam above boiling water). By plotting a suitable graph, calculate the temperature of a liquid that results in a mercury column height of 17.5 cm.
