Q1. At what temperature does water freeze and boil in Fahrenheit and Celsius?
Background
Topic: Temperature Scales
This question tests your understanding of the temperature scales (Celsius and Fahrenheit) and the phase change points of water.
Key Terms and Formulas:
Freezing point: The temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid.
Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
Conversion formulas:
Step-by-Step Guidance
Recall the standard freezing and boiling points of water in Celsius.

Final Answer:
Water freezes at C (F) and boils at C (F).
These are the standard phase change points for water at 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Q2. What is “absolute zero”?
Background
Topic: Temperature Scales and Thermodynamics
This question is about the concept of absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature in thermodynamics.
Key Terms and Formulas:
Absolute zero: The theoretical temperature at which particles have minimum thermal motion.
Kelvin scale:
Step-by-Step Guidance
Recall what happens to molecular motion as temperature decreases.

Identify the value of absolute zero in Celsius and Kelvin.
Try solving on your own before revealing the answer!
Final Answer:
Absolute zero is $0-273.15^\circ$C. At this temperature, all classical motion of particles theoretically stops.
Q3. What does it mean by “temperature is proportional to the average ‘translational’ kinetic energy”?
Background
Topic: Kinetic Theory of Gases
This question tests your understanding of the relationship between temperature and the kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
Key Terms and Formulas:

Final Answer:
It means that the temperature of a substance is directly proportional to the average translational kinetic energy of its molecules: .
Q4. What is the difference between thermal and internal energy?
Background
Topic: Thermodynamics
This question asks you to distinguish between two important energy concepts in thermodynamics.
Key Terms and Formulas:
Thermal energy: The part of internal energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules.
Internal energy: The total energy contained within a system, including kinetic and potential energies at the microscopic level.
Step-by-Step Guidance
Define internal energy and list its components.
Define thermal energy and explain how it relates to internal energy.
Compare and contrast the two concepts, focusing on what each includes.
Try solving on your own before revealing the answer!
Final Answer:
Thermal energy is the portion of internal energy due to the random motion of particles, while internal energy includes both this kinetic energy and potential energy from molecular interactions.
Q5. What is the formula of Coulomb's Law?
Background
