What else can I help you with?
The scale of temperature independent on thermal properties?
Only the Kelvin scale. The Celsius scale, for example is based on the thermal properties of water, as is the Reaumur scale. The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing point of brine, the freezing point of water and, possibly, the normal body temperature.
What temperature scale has zero as it's lowest temperature?
The Kelvin scale (apex)
What scale is the standard for measuring temperature?
The SI unit (systeme internacional, in french), or the universally recognized standard unit, for temperature is the Kelvin. ( 273 K is equal to 0 degrees celsius) however, this is usually only used for scientific measurements and the celsius is more common for things like telling how hot it is outside and simple things like that.
What do the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales have in common?
Both are used to measure temperature. A difference of 1 degree is the same in both scales. The only difference is the starting point. The lowest possible temperature (absolute zero) is 0 Kelvin; this is equivalent to 273.15 degrees Celsius. Thus, on the Kelvin scale there are no negative temperatures, by definition.
What is thermodynamic temperature scale?
The thermodynamic temperature scale, also known as the Kelvin scale, is an absolute temperature scale where zero is the point at which all thermal motion ceases (absolute zero). It is defined based on the properties of ideal gases and is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications. The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale by the equation: T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15.
What is the fiducial point on the kelvin temperature scale?
The triple point of water (where you can boil water yet not melt ice; this can only happen with the correct temperature and pressure)
The scale of temperature independent on thermal properties?
Only the Kelvin scale. The Celsius scale, for example is based on the thermal properties of water, as is the Reaumur scale. The Fahrenheit scale is based on the freezing point of brine, the freezing point of water and, possibly, the normal body temperature.
Why is there a celsius temperature scale?
Because it's a lot more sensible than theantiquated Fahrenheit scale which lingers only in you guessed it, the unmetricated USA. The Celsius scale logically has zero degrees as the freezing point of pure water and 100 degrees as the boiling point.
What is the Fahrenheit scale?
The temperature scale known as the Fahrenheit scale is named for Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736). Fahrenheit established a zero point (for freezing brine) and defined water's melting point (32°) and human body temperature (originally 60°). Later refinements by others altered the scale, setting body temperature near 98° and water's boiling point at 212°.Fahrenheit wrote of working with a similar scale devised by Ole Rømer (1644-1710).Only the US still uses the Fahrenheit scale to any great extent. The SI metric unit is the degree on the Celsius scale, which is different.
Why thermodynamic scale is taken in kelvin instead of degree centigrade reply please its very very urgent?
It is convenient to have a temperature scale, which is positiv only. 0 Kelvin is really the coldest point.
Why only 273 kelvin why not 280 kelvin?
Because this zero point is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. Therefore, the Kelvin scale is also known as the "absolute temperature scale". The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K). Also: That's just the way some things are, really. You don't ask, "Why only 100 degrees Celsius and not 110?"
What temperature scale has zero as it's lowest temperature?
The Kelvin scale (apex)
How is the Fahrenheit scale the same as the Celsius scale?
Only in that both are used to measure temperature.
Which temperature scale measures water boiling at 100 degrees?
Fahrenheit: 212 °F is the boiling point of water.Celsius: 100 °C is the boiling point of water.But, as water (at sea level) begins to boil at the temperatures shown above, the scale used is only relevant to which scale we want to use at the time!When the two scales are shown side by side for comparison, the boiling point is shown at the same level.
Is temperature a ratio level of measurement?
Only on the Kelvin scale.
What is Fahrenheit and Celsius based upon?
The celsius scale is a metric scale of temperature measurement. Unlike the Fahrenheit scale 0 degrees is freezing point and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water. The celsius scale is used anywhere the metric system is used. In addition to the Fahrenheit and celsius scale there is also the kelvin scale, used mainly only by scientists. Unlike other scales, on the kelvin scale 0 degrees is the lowest temperature possible (known as absolute zero and equivalent to -273 degrees in celsius) and there are therefore no negative readings.Early thermometers (like the one Galileo invented) did not have any scale (markings with numbers) to determine precise temperature.The 1st precise scale was developed by Anders Celsius in 1742. He used 'degree' as the unit of temperature. All of his standards for comparison to make his markings (on his scale) were based on the properties of water.Ø 100o was assigned the temperature at which ice melts at sea levelØ 0o was assigned the temperature at which liquid water boils at sea levelØ The region between (above and below, as well) these two extremes was separated into 100 equal units (degrees)In 1744, this was reversed to put the freezing point at 0C, and the boiling point at 100C. This is the scale in use today.Ø The two fixed temperatures that Celsius chose can be used to calibrate a thermometer (p. 195)
What is the difference between Fahrenheit and celsius temperature scale?
The main difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales is in their reference points. Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees, while Celsius scale sets the freezing point at 0 degrees and the boiling point at 100 degrees. This results in different numerical values for the same temperature readings on both scales.
