This is just the rough answer, as I am looking for more details myself... but Kelvin was trying to discover at what temperature the ideal gases turned to liquid (He, H, etc), and he then used those numbers to plot a line that supposedly gave him the temperature that would mean there was no 'energy' left in a substance, and thus be as cold as it cold possibly be. There are flaws to his theory, but it is called Kelvin because of him. Keep in mind that it is likely that there are temperatures colder than 'absolute zero'... currently they are called 'negative temperatures'. Some people postulate that below a certain temperature that the matter would actually contain *more* energy than at a relative 'absolute zero', and if both of those turn out to be 'facts' then pretty much the whole idea of 'absolute zero' is blown out of the water 'so to speak'. Nova has a great special called Absolute Zero that you can rent from Netflix that tells about the history of 'cold'. I recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between absolute temperature scale and kelvin scale urgent I am convinced that there is a difference?
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero. The absolute temperature scale refers to any temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, such as the Kelvin scale. So, the Kelvin scale is a specific type of absolute temperature scale.
What is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops?
This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
Point where all molecules stop moving?
In theory, all molecular motion ceases at absolute zero which is 0 Kelvin (-273.15 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, the molecules have minimal energy and stop moving completely. However, reaching absolute zero is not practically possible.
In applying Charles' law temperature must be in what scale?
The "Kelvin" scale, which uses the same size of degree as Celsius, but with a zero value at absolute zero. (on the Celsius scale, absolute zero is -273.15° C) There are no negative temperature values on the Kelvin scale.
What is the temperature at which all atomic and molecular kinetic motion ceases?
The temperature is absolute zero, a minimum temperature of matter based on continually reduced molecular motion. (Although absolute zero cannot be attained, it is possible to get very very close, to about 170 billionths of a kelvin.) Absolute zero is approximately -273.15 °C
Is absolute zero is equal to -273 degrees on the Kelvin scale?
Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.
What is the zero on the Kelvin scale?
It is Absolute Zero. On the Kelvin scale there are no negative numbers...so therefore absolute zero on the kelvin scale is zero. All we might add is that absolute zero is --273.15 degrees C.
Is zero degrees Kelvin absolute temperature?
It is absolute zero.
What is the difference between kelvin and absolute kelvin?
Kelvin is the absolute temperature - a temperature where absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as zero. Therefore, in the phrase "absolute Kelvin", the word "absolute" seems redundant.
Celsius to kelvin formula?
The Kelvin scale is zero at Absolute Zero ! Absolute Zero is -273C, hence add the Celsius figure to 273 to get the Kelvin figure
What is the special name for zero degree Kelvin?
Absolute zero.
Absolute zero is zero on the?
Kelvin Scale.
What scale shows absolute zero as zero?
Kelvin temperature scale uses absolute zero as the zero. Though you can find absolute zero in all temperature scales i.e. −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit and -273.15 degrees Celsius. But Kelvin is the scale that absolute zero is 0.
What is temperature of absolute zero in kelvin?
Absolute zero in Kelvin is defined as 0 degrees. This is -273.15 degrees celcius. It was determined by extrapolating the gas and pressure of an ideal gas as it approaches the point where all of its particles stop vibrating. The closest we have gotten to absolute zero is 10^-15 degrees kelvin. Hope that helps.
Is absolute zero measured in kelvins?
Yes, absolute zero is zero degrees Kelvin.
What is the tempertaure in absolute zero?
zero degrees Kelvin
Which scientists introduced the concept of absolute zero?
The concept of absolute zero was introduced by physicist William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, in the 19th century. Kelvin proposed the absolute temperature scale, which sets the zero point at absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), where molecular motion theoretically ceases.
