Question

Lord kelvin described the concept of absolute zero temperature and the laws relating the change in thermal energy during chemical reactions. whaty type of chemist would be be considered todayh

Answer 1

Lord Kelvin, were he alive today, would be considered a Thermochemist. Thermochemistry is interested in the role of heat in chemical reactions. This includes the role of heat both as a biproduct of chemical reactions and a facilitator.

Kelvin's description of absolute zero is an important concept in thermochemistry. At absolute zero, there is no movement of molecules, and no energy available facilitate chemical reactions.
