Temperature Scales Ex: At what temperature will the reading on the Fahrenheit scale be numerically equal to that on the Celsius scale? The relationship between the two scales is given by TF = (9/5)TC + 32.0. We want the temperature when TF = TC‚ so we make that substitution. Rearranging gives Heat and Temperature Change: Specific Heat Capacity Q = mc T 4186 J = 1 kcal Ex: If 15 kcal of heat are added to 5.0 kg of silver‚ by how much will its temperature rise? Ex: An aluminum
