Question

choose the incorrect answer below concerning absolute zero. a) lowest possible temperature b) theoretical temperature at which gas molecules have no kinetic energy c) is equal to 0°c d) is equal to 0 k

Answer 1

Answer:

c) is equal to 0°c

Explanation:

Absolute zero is lowest possible theoretical temperature at which all particles exhibit the lowest possible thermal motion. On a thermodynamic scale, absolute zero is equal to zero kelvin

Therefore:

a) True. Since absolute zero is theoretically the lowest possible temperature

b) True. At absolute zero, kinetic energy can be considered to be very nearly zero

c) False. Absolute zero = 0 K = -273 C

d) True. Absolute zero = 0 K

Answer 2

C. Degrees Celsius (°C) is used around the world, except mainly in the US. Absolute 0 is absolute absence of kinetic energy in gas, so 0°C is actually nowhere near absolute 0.
