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 type of thermometer is used by a scientist?

Science measurements use the metric system and the Celsius temperature scale is used for most measurements. The Kelvin scale is also used for measurements approaching absolute zero.


What is the colour temperature of 35mm slide film?

Daylight film is 5200K, tungsten film is 3200k. ************** K stands for Kelvin, a type of temperature scale


What is absolute zero and why is it important?

Absolute zero is the temperature of outer space. It is the lowest temperature matter can reach. It is -273.15 on the Celsius scale and 0.0 on the Kelvin scale. There is still a type of energy, known as zero point energy, the energy of outer space, left at 0.0 Kelvin, but this energy cannot be used. Work cannot be obtained from things at 0.0 Kelvin, because there is no lower temperature to which the energy might flow. The entropy of anything at 0.0 Kelvin is maximum, meaning no work can be obtained from it. (Entropy is reverse of what we are perhaps used to: minimum means lots of work can be extracted which causes the entropy to INCREASE until the entropy is maximum and no further energy can be extracted..) There are laws of physics which only agree with reality when the Kelvin scale is used. For example, the ideal gas law is PV = NRT. The pressure times the volume of an ideal gas is the product of the number of moles of gas (N) times a constant (R) times the temperature. This equation only works of the temperature is in Kelvin (the units of the Kelvin scale are Kelvin, not degree). The equation for the power radiated from a hot object only works if the temperature is Kelvin. In fact, much of physics only works when you use the Kelvin scale for temperature.


Lord Kelvin described the concept of absolute zero temperature and the laws relating the change in thermal energy during chemical reactions What type of chemist would he be considered today?

Lord Kelvin would be considered a physical chemist today for his contributions to the understanding of thermodynamics and chemical reactions involving thermal energy.


What is the boiling point of alcohol in Kelvin?

Alcohol is a class of chemicals, not a single chemical. Each one has a different boiling point. The alcohol that people drink is ethyl alcohol, or ethanol. The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 78oC. Since we add 273 into the the number while changing it to Kelvin Therefore, 78+273 = 351 in Kelvin.
