fixed points
Definition
definite temperatures at which a state changes (water to ice)
Term
linearity
Definition
if the sizes of the individual degrees are closer to eachother then it's more linear.
Term
thermal capacity
Definition
the capacity for absorbing thermal energy

thermal capacity= specific heat capacity x mass
Term
for a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature.
