Question
Chapter 12, Problem 39A
To determine
Whether temperature can be assigned to a vacuum.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Temperature measures the hotness or coldness of matter. It is the average kinetic energy of the particles of the object.
Vacuum is the absence of any particle. No particles mean no kinetic energy and no thermal energy. Hence,temperature cannot be assigned to vacuum.
Conclusion:
Temperature cannot be assigned to vacuum.
