PART 1 –
THE CONQUEST OF COLD 1. Cornelius Drebbel had a wager with King James I in 1620. What was it? Said that he could turn summer into winter
2. What does adding salt do to ice? Lowers the temperature
3. What is Robert Boyle primarily famous for? He’s famous for his experiments on air and for his curiosity concerning the cold.
4. When were the first accurately calibrated thermometers made, and where? t mid17th century in Florence, Italy
5. What was the biggest problem with these first thermometers? The lack of a universally accepted temperature scale
6. How were thermometers made smaller? By using Mercury
th
7. Describe the 18 century theory that rivaled the theory that particles slow down as they cool and speed up when they warm? The Caloric theory molecules were compact when cold, heat was a fluid that would get in between the particles and cause them to separate Heat was an element.
8. What was the fate of Lavoisier? He was beheaded during the Reign of Terror or the French Revolution
9. Who or what did Rumford leave his wife for? He left his wife to pursue science
10. What was the name of Tudor’s ship for transporting ice? The Favorite 11. What was the “single most important economic problem in Europe”? Making heat without wasting it.
12. Carnot found out that more work could be done by an engine if….. : There was a greater difference in temperature.
13. How did the SI unit for energy become the Joule?
14. What is the First Law of Thermodynamics? Heat is not destroyed or created, but it changes form
15. What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics? Heat only flows in 1 direction from hot to cold.
16. Why do some people still call their refrigerator the “ice box” (usually old people J) ?
