How Do We Tell Temperature?

  • This week Reactions takes a look at the science behind how we tell temperature. There's a lot of chemistry that goes into thermometers. We have a lot of confidence that we measure temperature accurately. But how do thermometers in the kitchen or doctor’s office work? Thanks to the laws of thermodynamics, thermometers respond to heat moving from hot to cold as a means of measuring temperature. Clever physical chemists and engineers have taken temperature tools from the simple, but still useful, lined glass thermometers to digital readouts. And you might be surprised to find out how Einstein took thermometers the distance.

    When I was in 5th grade my teacher asked us what the properties of the element mercury. I said that it expands when it's heat, as I was always told thermometers has mercury in them. She gave me a weird look and said "no it doesnt". I assumed I just misunderstood how a thermometer works. This video confirmed I was correct all those years ago.

    What I wonder about is shade/ light and reflection. Also the energy added to a system. As far as i understand temperature is measured in the shade according to some standard rules and definitions. Within an area the temperature may vary due to surface, plant/ tree growth, many factors. So when the newsperson or weatherstation tells us the temperature, how does that work? And how do satellites do this?

    You know.... I think you should make fun videos like this on many of the key concepts in Chemistry 1,2 and Organic Chemistry
    if people learned them for fun beforehand or outside of class.. they might dread them less, and also, actually earn them, rather than feel anxiety about them and not learn about the concept

      ya half the thing that makes learning difficult , is the class environment making it very serious, and all the anxiety of attempting to master the concepts taking away your working memory, preventing one from learning..
      its very similar to math anxiety

    temperature increase causes the fluid to expand can be determined by measuring the volume of the fluid it can be really hot and the person can feel it if it`s really hot

  • @soniaaliahmad266
    @soniaaliahmad266 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    when heat moves from environment to thermometer then temperature of environment decreases and thermometer never gives the actual temperature of environment .How we say thermometer gives true temperature of environment ?

    As far as I know (I'm not medical professional), 40c does not necessarily means you need to go to ER. I had it more than once in my life. My little children had it too, but it depends on all other symptoms (or lack of those). Amiright or notatall?

    • @cbgirl1220
      @cbgirl1220 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No it definitely does mean you need to go to the ER I'm a former nursing student and if your fever gets past 105° F you can literally die so if it gets to 104° F and you can't get it down you should go to the hospital

    Heat can be created and destroyed, though. It just has to be converted to or from some other form of energy. Is this correct?

    • @omermagen824
      @omermagen824 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True indeed. The thermal dynamics rules actually say 'Energy cannot be created nor destroyed' in the video they said heat to simplify things. All in all, energy can intact be created through nuclear processes such as nuclear fission, as the famous equation E=MC² tells us, energy can be made to mass and mass to energy.

    • @aajjeee
      @aajjeee 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Omer Magen E=mc2 actually means that mass and energy is the same thing. The energy is always conserved. "Heat" isnt energy, the thermal energy of the molecules is energy, but heat only exist as a potential between 2 states.
