Absolute ZeroObjectives

(c) describe how there is an absolute scale of temperature that does not depend on the

property of any particular substance (ie the thermodynamic scale and the concept of

absolute zero);(d) convert temperatures measured in kelvin to degrees Celsius (or vice versa): T (K)= θ

(°C) + 273.15;(e) state that absolute zero is the temperature

at which a substance has minimum internal energy.
