In measuring a given temperature what scale will have the highest reading?
For a given temperature, Kelvin scale will show the highest value. However, a given temperature will be same on Kelvin, Celcius or Fahrenheit scale. E.g. At the freezing point of water, Kelvin will show 273.15 degrees, Celcius will show 0 degrees and Fahrenheit will be 32 degrees. That means, at freezing point of water = 00C = 273.15K = 320F
What is the name of the unit of temperature in the metric system?
celsius;mainly called kelvin in the metric systemFahrenheit and CelsiusFahrenheit is not a metric unit. The base unit for temperature is kelvin, one kelvin is the same size as one degree celsius. Zero kelvin is absolute zero, the coldest it is possible to be, and equals -273.15oC.
Is Celsius or Fahrenheit considered a metric measurement?
No. The base unit of temperature is kelvin. one degree celsius is the same size as one kelvin. The kelvin scale starts at absolute zero. Zero degrees celsius is the melting point of water at normal pressure, which is 273.15 kelvin.
What is the basis for the kelvin scale?
AnswerA Kelvin scale is a scale used for measuring temperature in scientific expirements. By: a grade 7The kelvin scale has exactly the same degrees as the centigrade scale HOWEVER the position of zero on the kelvin scale is set at -273.15 on the centrigrade scale.So if water freezes at 0'C it freezes at 273.15 Kand if water boils at 100'C it boils at 373.15'KThe Kelvin scale was made so that equations such as the ideal gas law could be expressed both simply and elequently.PV=nRTwithout the need of fudge factorsPV=nR(T+273.15)As a small addition, the Kelvin scale is based on absolute zero. Zero Kelvin is the absence of all heat and no colder temperature is theoretically possible.The Kelvin scale was developed by William Thomson - a.k.a. Lord Kelvin - and the markings on the scale are not called degrees, but are simply called kelvins.(0o Celsius is equal to 273.15o Kelvin)
Si unit of Celsius?
Celsius is not an SI unit. The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin (K). This has the same scale as Celsius, the difference is 0 K is absolute zero and not the temperature of iced water. 0 K equals -273.15C
What temperature does water freeze at in the kelvin scale?
Quite a cold tempurature on I assume.
What scale boils water at 373 degree's?
Firstly, temperatures measured in Kelvin (K) are not degrees but rather, just numbers. However, 373 K is the same as 100 degrees C. At that temperature, pure water begins to boil at sea level.
When does water freeze on the kelvin scale?
Pure water, at the pressure of 1 atmosphere will freeze at 273.15 K.
What scale has a 373 degrees to indicate the boiling point in water?
Kelvin temperature scale indicates a boiling water temperature of 373º.
Which temperature scale was used of water froze at 273 degrees?
Water freezes at 273 on the Kelvin scale. To covert Kelvin to Celsius, you subtract 273 from the Kelvin number, so 273 Kelvin is equal to 0 degrees Celsius, the freezing point of water.
What temperature does water freeze in metric?
The metric unit of measurement for temperature is kelvin. Water freezes at 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), which is 273.15 kelvin.
What are the temperatures for freezing water on the Kelvin temperature scale?
273 k
When and what are some of the major points on the Kelvin scale?
On the Kelvin scale, 0 is absolute zero, which is the theoretical temperature at which all atomic motion stops. This is not a possible temperature to reach, not even in deep space. There is no "below zero" on the Kelvin scale. Water melts at 273 Kelvin, and boils at 373 Kelvin.
What temperature does water freeze on Fahrenheit scale?
32oF.
Each degree on the Kelvin scale equals?
The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius scale is K=C+273. 15. Where K is Kelvin temperature and C is Celsius temperature. Each degree on the Kelvin scale equals the same degree in Celsius scale differing only in the zero value. The freezing point of water and absolute zero are the zero values of Celsius and Kelvin scale respectively.
At what temperature does water freeze in kelvin?
273.15 degrees Kelvin is the freezing point of water.
In measuring a given temperature what scale will have the highest reading?
For a given temperature, Kelvin scale will show the highest value. However, a given temperature will be same on Kelvin, Celcius or Fahrenheit scale. E.g. At the freezing point of water, Kelvin will show 273.15 degrees, Celcius will show 0 degrees and Fahrenheit will be 32 degrees. That means, at freezing point of water = 00C = 273.15K = 320F
