Why the speed of light has been quoted as being 'in a vacuum' yet the speed of sound is at a specific temperature?

Light will be transported without a medium. The speed of light is = 299 792 458 m/s. Sound need a medium to be transported. It's mostly air, where the temperature is important. The speed of air is 343 m/s at 20 degrees Celsius and 331.3 m/s at 0 degrees Celsius.

What evidence supports the fact that temperature of seawater is more a controlling factor of density than salinity?
The question is ambiguous, controlling factor of what? Specific gravity will change according to temperature (all other things being equal) Salinity will not change with temperature. Water will is most dense at about 4 degrees Celsius, and will become less dense at higher and lower temperatures (to a point)

Ambient temperature and water temperature difference?
Ambient refers to the temperature of the surrounding air, i.e not at parking lot level etc. Ambient means the temperature not being effected by mechanical means, like AC or any heat source. example, if you serve a wine at ambient temperature, it is not a specific number it is what ever the room is at the time.
Does room temperature affect freezer temperature?
Normally not. Only if the temperature rises above the maximum specified value it might happen, if the device is not being switched off by an over-temperature safety switch. Under normal circumstances it only affects the energy used by the freezer.
What you use a thermometer for in science?
A thermometer is used to find the temperature of something, being used in science or not.

Why was the archbishop of Canterbury so unpopular?
Which Archbishop is being referred to cannot comment until a specific date is quoted
If global warming is Happening why is the Earth being effected?
The earth is effected because of the temperature changes. Some plants live at a specific temperature and if that temperature changes, it dies.
What organization's mission is quoted here?
It is not clear what mission is being referred to as no specific quote is mentioned. Please provide more information or context.
What is the relationship between specific heat and the change in temperature of a substance?
Specific heat is the amount of energy it takes to raise a unit mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. For each unit of specific heat applied to a substance its temperature will increase by a set amount.
Why is outer space cold?
because the sun faces the earth while the earth is being hot Outer space is neither hot nor cold. Temperature measures the energy of atomic particles. Sense there is no atomic particles in the vacuum of outer space there is no temperature.
Why do boiled peas remain at the same temperature when placed in a vacuum flask for 72hours?
The boiled peas lost their energy, whilst being boiled. Energy gives out heat, yet the peas did not have any more energy, leaving them to remain as the same temperature as they were. Hope this helps :)
What symbol tells you when something is quoted?
Quotation marks (" ") are used to indicate that something is being quoted. Additionally, a blockquote format in HTML can be used to visually indicate a quoted section of text.
What temperature to slow bake for an apple cake?
The proper temperature to bake any cake depends on the specific recipe and the size pan being used. Follow the directions on the cake mix package or listed in the recipe.
Is there a word for being afraid of vacuum cleaners?
yes
Is vacuum matter?
In classical physics a perfect vacuum contains no matter.However in quantum physics the Heisenberg uncertainty principle prohibits such a condition, requiring that even a perfect vacuum must contain particles of both matter and antimatter being continuously created and annihilated, each particle existing for only a very short period of time.However in the real world creating a perfect vacuum is as impossible as reaching absolute zero temperature. Thus any practical vacuum will always contain very tiny traces of gas.
