Concept explainers
The temperature of melting ice on the Kelvin scale and of boiling water at atmospheric pressure.
Answer to Problem 4RQ
The temperature of melting ice on the Kelvin scale is
Explanation of Solution
The temperature at absolute zero is the temperature at which the body cannot attain any coldness after this temperature. At this temperature, molecules have lost all available kinetic energy and no more energy can be taken from the body.
The absolute temperature scale is called Kelvin scale. The absolute zero is
Conclusion:
Therefore, the temperature of melting ice on the Kelvin scale is
