Kelvin is the temperature scaled preferred by scientists for doing pretty much everything rather than deciding to wear a coat or a bathing suit (though given the outside temperature in Kelvin it wouldn't take most of them long to make that determination either).

What temperature scale is used in the ideal gas?
K (Kelvin)
Why is natural gas a preferred fuel?
Natural gas is a preferred fuel because it is plentiful, cheap, and burns cleanly.
If the pressure of a gas stays the same while the volume increases what must be change in temperature of gas?
Follow the 'Ideal Gas Law':p*V/T = n * RThis is constant for the same amount (moles) of gas, so increasing the volume at same pressure will also increase the absolute temperature (in Kelvin). This will do:T2 = T1 * [V2/V1] (K)but remember to use the K scale for temperature!
What is temperature measure in metric system?
Temperature is measured in the metric system using degrees Celsius (centigrade). The official scale is actually the Kelvin scale, which uses the same degree size, but begins at absolute zero. Kelvin is often used for special scientific usage with very high or low temperatures. It is also preferred for certain computations using the gas law, because the product of pressure and volume is directly proportional to Kelvin temperature. Answer In the SI system, the base unit of measurement for temperature is the kelvin. Celsius is a metric unit, but it is NOT an SI unit.
Is radon a gas at room temperature?
Yes, radon is a gas at room temperature.
Which scale is used for the gas laws to make correct calculations?
Kelvin scale is used for correct calculations according to gas laws.
Is temperature expressed on the Celsius scale in calculations using Charles' Law?
No, you must always use the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.
Why you use kelivin in calculation instead of celsius and Fahrenheit?
Kelvin has the advantage that it is an absolute temperature scale - it starts from absolute zero. This simplifies several calculations; for example, in an ideal gas, at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature. Similarly, calculations related to heat machines are simpler if an absolute temperature scale is used.
What base unit of temperature shuld be used when working with gas law calculations?
Kelvin
What is Kinetic energy of a gas is proportional to temperature in?
absolute temperature scale in kelvin (degrees).
When do you use the Rankine Scale?
The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed. The Rankine scale is useful in calcluations of oil or gas present in an oil or gas reservoir (one of the factors in the equations is the ratio of standard temperature to formation temperature; generally add 460 to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankine).
What temperature scale is used in the ideal gas?
K (Kelvin)
What temperature scale must be used when working with ideal gas equations?
The Kelvin scale is used.
What temperature scale must be used when working with the ideal gas equation?
The Kelvin scale is used.
The temperature scale for using Charles' Law is not Fahrenheit or Celsius but what?
Always use temperature in the Kelvin scale when doing gas law problems.

The Rankine scale is one of the temperature scales used when an absolute temperature scale is needed. The Rankine scale is useful in calcluations of oil or gas present in an oil or gas reservoir (one of the factors in the equations is the ratio of standard temperature to formation temperature; generally add 460 to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to obtain degrees Rankine).
What is the temperature scale defined so that temperature of a substance is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles and so that zero on the scale corresponds to zero kinetic e?
Absolute scale of temperature, also called as Kelvin scale. Average kinetic energy of 'n' moles of a gas = f/2 * n * R * T Where f = degrees of freedom of gas molecule. R = universal gas constant T = temperature (here in absolute scale). if T = 0 then KE = 0. It is related to celsius scale as: T in kelvin = T in celsius - 273
