Thermal Equilibrium 'THE EQUALIZER

'

SCIENTIFIC CONCEPT
When two substance having different temperature are introduced or kept together, heat flow from a substance at higher temperature to a substance at lower temperature. heat continues to be transferred until their temperature are equalized. when this stage is achieved , only we can say that the substances are in THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM

ENHANCE
A normal temperature for human body is 36oC. Ahmad is having a fever and the clinical thermometer shows 38oC. How can the clinical thermometer shows the reading of Ahmad's body temperature?

Thermal Equilibrium

ENHANCE
ANSWER Because the temperature of the human body and thermometer is different. When the body and thermometer having different temperature are introduced or kept together, heat flow from a substance at higher temperature to a substance at lower temperature. heat continues to be transferred until their temperature are equalized. Therefore, the temperature of the clinical thermometer will rise equal to the temperature of the human body

Easy to record data and result - Able to record the temperature of the solution and time taken without the participation of the experimenter to record the data. It is fully recorded by the computer.

Enable to run and record two or more data simultaneously -The measurement for temperature for hot and cold water can be recorded simultaneously

unique feature of this activity

The result are more accurate - Able to record small change in temperature of water

Less work needed to be done -Less people needed for experiment's procedure
