The only scale that doesn't have a negative zone is Kelvin.\n\n0°K represents -273°C. And that's the coldest temperature ever achieved by man.\n\nThe 0°C represents the point where distilled water freezes.\n\nThe 100°C represents the point where distilled water boils.

Ok-i'm not quite sure if i did this right--we covered this last year--so you might want to double check with your textbook or teacher, or whatever resource you have...\n\nwhat i would do is find the final temperature:\nFinal Temperature=(V2 * T1) / V1\n\nand then use the delta T, delta v, and P to find delta E.\n\nbut i'm really not that sure.\n\nsorry that i wasnt a better help!

Because the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (-273*C), where all motion ceases and entropy is zero.  All 'action' takes place ABOVE this state of inactivity.\n\nSo proportionality from 0*K is more meaningful...it's always best to start at the start, isn't it?  :-))

Hi. From the web, they use the constant 'k' :    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Aku8q5AETPeTKbquDgodzrYezKIX?link=answer&.crumb=xa6shFEtoH4&qid=20061103074030AA2hrrt&.done=http%253A%252F%252Fanswers.yahoo.com%252Fquestion%252Findex%253Fqid%253D20061103074030AA2hrrt\nThermal conductivity = heat flow rate × distance / (area × temperature difference).

To convert Kelvin to Celsius  use this formula C = K - 273.  Therefore 422.35k - 273 = 149.35C.\n\nTo convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula is F = (C x 9/5) + 32.  Therefore, 149.35C x 9/5 + 32 = 300.8F.

The coldest temperature that anything can reach is –273.15 °C. That is called "absolute zero". On the Kelvin scale, which uses the same divisions as the Celsius scale, it is zero, making the point at which water freezes 273.15 °K. Absolute zero is the point at which all atomic movement ceases, i.e. the atoms no longer move relative to one another.\n\nAny material can be heated or cooled to any temperature, as long as enough energy can be added or removed to do so. Materials left in an environment for long enough will reach the same temperature as their surroundings. This is known as reaching equilibrium with the environment.

“Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744), who first proposed a similar system two years before his death. \nCelsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale. Degrees Celsius (symbol: °C) refers to a specific temperature on the Celsius temperature scale. The degree Celsius is also a unit increment of temperature for use in indicating a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). 1 °C = 1 kelvin\nand\n1 °C = 1.8 °F

The answer is B.\n\nCelsius and Kelvin scales have the exact same unit, they just start at different points.  Kelvin begins at absolute zero and only has positive values, Celsius starts at the freezing point of fresh water and goes up and down from there.

My refrigerator is a very cold place.  I would describe its elevation as "on the floor".  It's latitude is around 44.  It's proximity to the ocean is "a long way".\n\nUnless you mean for me to describe the terms "elevation, latitude and proximity" to a frigid body of water.

6000 K (aprox 6000 ºC)\nThese are actual measurements. You don´t need to put a termometer or to actually GO there to know that. \nThere are other ways, typically involving light spectrum analysis, to accurately measure that.
