Temperature Summary Page

Convert °C to °F

T_F = (9/5)T_C + 32

Convert °F to °C

T_C = (5/9)(T_F - 32)

Boltzmann's constant

k = 1.38·10^-23 J/K

Ideal gas constant

R = 8.31 J/mol·K or 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

Kelvin scale

T_K = T_C + 273.15

Ideal gas law

pV = nRT

Relation between gas constant and Boltzmann's

R = N_Ak

Thermal expansion

DL/L = aDT

Area expansion

DA/A = bDT; b = 2a

Relation between temperature and av. KE

(3/2) kT = (1/2) m <v>² = average KE
