Temerature scales : Celsius centigrade scale or Celsius scale (174; 1750): 0 C temerature of melting ice in 1 atm air 100 C temerature of boiling water in 1 atm air between these temeratures the scale is linear (measured by an alcohol thermometer) Anders Celsius (1701-1744) Swedish astronomer Problem: if other liquids are used (e.g. Hg), then different middle temeratures are measured lower and uer reference temerature arbitrary lower and uer reference temerature reroducible anyone can make a new centigrade scale thermometer 5 Temerature scales 3: Kelvin Kelvin scale or absolut temerature scale (1848): Lord Kelvin born as William Thomson (184-1907) Scottish hysicist 0 K (-73,15 C) extraolated zero volume of an ideal gas 73,16 K (0,01 C) temerature of the trile oint of water between these temeratures the scale is linear (measured by a gas thermometer) Problem: ideal gas does not exist lower and uer reference temeratures hysically well based lower and uer reference temeratures reroducible this is the real ( thermodynamic ) temerature scale 6 3
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics If substance A is in thermal equilibrium with substance B and substance B is in thermal equilibrium with substance C then substance A is in thermal equilibrium with substance C. Note: the condition is thermal equilibrium, not thermodynamic equilibrium! What does it mean: Using thermometer B, the temerature of body A, then the temerature of body C is measured. If the thermometer shows the same reading, then the temerature of bodies A and C are equal. 7 Equation of state of the ideal gas: ideal gas law = n R T or m = R T ressure (Pa) volume (m 3 ) n amount of matter (mol) T temerature (K) R gas constant R= 8.314 J K -1 mol -1 Regnault constant Henri ictor Regnault (1810-1878) at high temerature and not very high ressure French chemist the equation of state of the ideal gas is a good aroximation. DEF: ideal gas or erfect gas: imagined gas that obeys exactly the erfect gas equation of state. 8 4

Dalton s Law: the ressure of a mixture of erfect gasses is equal to the sum of the artial ressures. = ( n + n + K+ n )RT 1 K n RT n RT n RT 1 K = + + K+ = 1 + + K+ K n j x = n + n + j / RT = / RT j = 1 KnK j mole fraction n j of comonent j is the ratio of the corresonding artial ressure and of the total ressure.

This term includes emirical constant a. (the volume of the box) is corrected by the own volume of the molecules. This volume is b for 1 mole, nb for n moles of molecules a and b are emirical constants and do not deend on temerature This equation of state is simle, but not very accurate (say, error is below 1%). 7
