What is the need for the Kelvin scale of temperature?
Advertisements
Solution
The behavior of gases shows that it is not possible to have a temperature below 273.15°C. This act has led to the formulation of another scale known as the Kelvin scale. The real advantage of the Kelvin scale is that it makes the application and the use of gas laws simple. Even more significantly, all values on the Kelvin scale are positive.
