4- temperature Flashcards
1
Q
thermal equilibrium
A
A condition where two or more objects in contact have the same temperature so there is no net flow of energy between them
2
Q
thermodynamic kelvin scale
A
Theoretical scale that is independent of the properties of any particular substance
3
Q
Absolute zero
A
Temperature at which a system has minimal internal energy and it is impossible to remove any more energy from it - 0K
4
Q
triple point of pure water
A
temperature at which water exists as vapour, liquid, and solid - 273.16K / 0.01 C
5
Q
Temperature
A
