Temperature and the Kelvin scale

Question 1

how is absolute zero obtained

Answer 1

1) As we increase the temperature of an object, we give kinetic energy to its particles, making them move around more.
2) The hotter an object gets, the more its particles move around.
3) Therefore the colder an object gets, the less its particles move around.

4) So there must be a temperature where all the particles completely stop moving - they have zero kinetic energy.
This temperature is called absolute zero.

Question 2

what is absolute zero

Answer 2

absolute zero is the temperature at which all particles stop moving as they have no kinetic energy.

its the lowest temperature anything can reach

Question 3

how many degrees and Kelvin is absolute zero at

Answer 3

0 Kelvin

-273 Degrees

Question 4

to convert celsius to Kelvin what do you do

Answer 4

simply add 273

E.g. 100 degrees is 373 Kelvin

Question 5

explain kelvin In terms of proportionality

Answer 5

Kelvin temperature of a gas is DIRECTLY proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas
