Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

kumpel [21]

The correct answer is (D)


All the above are reasons the carbon , oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are vital to life on earth.


The explanation:


because :


1) Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen are vital components of life on Earth.


2) The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles allow vital elements to return to usable form by organisms.


3)The carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles are an important interface between biotic and abiotic factors


4) They are all biogeochemical cycles.


5) They all involve an interaction between living and nonliving elements.

6)They are all part of the Earth system.

Are alchemy and chemistry the same
Anit [1.1K]

Are alchemy and chemistry the same: No

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alchemy and chemistry differ from each other. Their main difference lies in the concepts that they are based on. Alchemy has the base of viewing the reality of nature supernaturally. Chemistry has a base of viewing the reality in a natural way.

Protoscience is the name given for Alchemy. This is because that alchemy usually focuses on the traditional things like procedures and  terminologies. Chemistry always focuses on the matter and their transformations. The matter and its transformations are dealt with chemistry.
