Most other temperature scales are not absolute - the lowest possible temperature is not zero.

What temperature scale must be used when working with the ideal gas equation?

The ideal gas equation should be used with the Kelvin temperature scale because it is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero. Using Celsius or Fahrenheit scales could lead to incorrect calculations in the ideal gas equation.


What is the percentage of temperature?

Any percentage of temperature should be calculated in Kelvin.


What does the word kelvins mean when talking of temperature?

Kelvin is a temperature scale, like Fahrenheit or Centigrade. It is generally used in scientific contexts. One degree Kelvin is equal to one degree Centigrade. In order to find the temperature in Kelvin, I have provided the following equations. If you have a temperature in Fahrenheit and want to know it in Kelvin, it is easiest to convert to Centigrade first. (Fahrenheit Temperature - 32) X (5/9) = (Centigrade Temperature) If you have a Centigrade temperature and want to know it in Kelvin, you can convert it directly to Kelvin. (Centigrade Temperature + 273) = (Kelvin Temperature) The reason for the 273 is that scientists wanted the Kelvin scale to begin at Absolute Zero. Thus, Absolute Zero is 0 K and -273 degrees Centigrade. Since, as I stated above, one degree Centigrade is equal to one degree Kelvin, this equation works. If you want to convert back from Kelvin, the following equations may be used. (Kelvin Temperature -273) = (Centigrade Temperature) And if you're asked to report the temperature in Fahrenheit, use (Centigrade Temperature X (9/5)) +32 = (Fahrenheit Temperature) It should be noted that you do not include a degree symbol when you report a Kelvin temperature.


From your calculations a temperature should be 325 Kelvin What is that in Celsius?

325 Kelvin is equivalent to 51.85 degrees Celsius. To convert Kelvin to Celsius, you just need to subtract 273.15 from the given temperature in Kelvin.


When using the ideal gas law which temperature measurement should be used?

When using the ideal gas law, the temperature measurement should be in Kelvin. This is because the ideal gas law requires an absolute temperature scale for accurate calculations, and Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero.


What is normal body temperature in degrees CELSIUS and Fahrenheit?

Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature. Celsius is usually used in metric systems. 0 degree celsius is 273.15 Kelvin. Kelvin increases equally with celsius. So to convert celsius to kelvin, we just add 273.15 to celsius. The answer in Kelvin is 310.15


O degrees Celsius should be transferred to the temperature of absolute zero what is your comment to this statement?

its not needed as it is quite easy to convert Celsius to the Kelvin temperature scale, witch parralels the Celsius scale. subtract 273.15 from celcius to get to kelvin, and 0 is absolute zero on the kelvin scale.


What temperature should you cook a grilled cheese sandwich?

Approximately 700 degrees kelvin for ten minutes


When solving gas law problems it is essential that temperatures be converted to the Kelvin scale?

Yes, temperatures should be converted to the Kelvin scale when using gas laws because they are based on the Kelvin temperature scale, where zero represents absolute zero. This ensures consistency and accuracy in calculations involving pressure, volume, and temperature relationships of gases.


What part of graph would you shade on an equation if the answer is 0 equals 0?

The equation 0 equals 0 is an identity and contributes absolutely nothing to the part of the graph that you should shade or not. The tautological statement can be ignored.


What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve equals -12.4?

Multiply by 4
