When the Celcius (Centigrade)scale was set up , it deemed freezing point of water at zero (0 oC) and the boiling point of water at 100 oC.
This is a 'hangover' from the French Revolution of 1789, when the revolutionaries made everything into multiples of 'ten'.
The came Lord Kelvin. He used the same scale , but calculated a temperature of ' O K'. (-273 oC) to be the point were molecular motion stopped.
Helium gas freezes at 6K ( -267 oC ) and solidifies at 4K ( -269 oC).
The units of the Celcius Scale are ' --- oC'. However the units of the Kelvin Scale are ' ---K'. NO degree symbol 'o'.
What else can I help you with?
Is Celsius the opposite of temperature?
No, Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement on the Celsius scale. It is not the opposite of temperature, but a way to quantify it.
Which temperature scale labels the freezing point of water at 0 degrees?
Centigrade degrees or the "Celsius" scale.
What is the melting point on the celsius scale?
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid. The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
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 on a Celsius scale of 350 Fahrenheit?
A temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature of 176.67 degrees Celsius.
The temperature scale that gives the most precise temperature is?
The temperature scale that gives the most precise temperature is the Fahrenheit scale because there are 9 Fahrenheit degrees for every 5 Celsius degrees.
What is the absolute zero on the Celsius temperature scale?
Negative 273.15 degrees
Can Celsius be a negative number?
You mean Celsius, the temperature scale? Yes,certainly; it can be as low as negative 273 degrees C, which is absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
Is fifteen degrees positive or negative?
This is a positive temperature on the Celsius scale and negative on the other scales.
Are the temperature bellow the freezing point of water on the Celsius scale positive or negative number?
Celsius is a scale of temperature. Its range includes both positive and negative numbers.
You see a lighted sign in a snowstorm that gives the temperature as 26 degrees but you can't make out whether the temperature scale is Celsius or Fahrenheit which is it?
is celsius
Is Celsius the opposite of temperature?
No, Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement on the Celsius scale. It is not the opposite of temperature, but a way to quantify it.
What are the two temperature scale?
The two most common temperature scales are the Fahrenheit scale and the Celsius scale. However, the Kelvin scale is also used, primarily in science, to prevent negative temperatures.
Which gas is colder -145 Celsius or -245 Celsius and why?
-245 because on the Celsius temperature scale the negative end is cold and the positive end is hot. So as you go more negative you get colder.
What is the temperature scale on which water boils at 100 degrees?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius on the Celsius temperature scale.
What temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degree boils at 100degree?
The Celsius scale.
What temperature scale has no negative temperatures joule Celsius kelvin Fahrenheit?
The Kelvin scale is based at absolute zero. The Kelvin scale was defined when the scientist William Thomson (1st Baron Kelvin) calculated the absolute minimum thermal energy an object can have. He decided to shift the Celsius scale so that 0 would be equivalent to having zero thermal energy (aka absolute zero).
