Charles law states that the volnme of a given sample of gas at constant pressnre is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. The Kelvin scale is used with all gas laws in which temperatnre is involved. A Kelvin (absolute) temperature is equal to the corresponding Celsius temperature plus 273. In equation form, Charles law may be written as...

Temperature scale, Kelvin (K) A temperature scale where zero is the point of no atomic or molecular motion and the heat content of a material is zero. The kelvin degree has the same magnitude as the Centigrade degree. The triple point of water is then 273.16 K. Absolute zero is OK, -273.15°C, and -459.67°F.

The new international temperature scale, known as ITS-90, was adopted in September 1989. However, neither the definition of thermodynamic temperature nor the definition of the kelvin or the Celsius temperature scales has changed it is the way in which we are to realize these definitions that has changed. The changes concern the recommended thermometers to be used in different regions of the temperature scale and the list of secondary standard fixed points. The changes in temperature determined using ITS-90 from the previous IPTS-68 are always less than 0.4 K, and almost always less than 0.2 K, over the range 0-1300 K. 

The absolute temperature scale that corresponds to the Celsius scale is the Kelvin scale for the Fahrenheit scale, the absolute scale is called the Rankine scale. The Celsius scale reads 0 when the Kelvin scale reads 273 the Fahrenheit scale reads 0 when the Rankine scale reads 460. These relationships are shown in Figure 1. 

The sensation of warmth or coldness is caused by temperature. Adding heat to a substance not only raises its temperature, but also produces changes in several other qualities. The substance expands or contracts its electric resistance changes and in the gaseous form, its pressure changes. Five different temperature scales are in use today Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, and international thermodynamic. 

The volume of a gas would theoretically be zero at a temperature of approximately -273°C or -460°F. Tliis temperature, wliich lias become known as absolute zero, is tlie basis for tlie definition of two absolute temperature scales, tlie Kelvin (K) and Rankine (°R) scales. The former is defined by shifting tlie Celsius scale by 273-Celsius degrees so that 0 K is equal to -273°C. Equation (4.2.3) shows tliis relation. 

Carnot s research also made a major contribution to the second law of thermodynamics. Since the maximum efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by 1 -T( H, if the engine is to be 100 percent efficient (i.e., Cma = 1), Tc must equal zero. This led William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) to propose in 1848 that Tf must be the absolute zero of the temperature scale later known as the absolute scale or Kelvin scale. ... 

The internal energy of all gases depends on the temperature of the gas. For an ideal gas, the internal energy depends only on the temperature. The temperature is most appropriately measured on the Kelvin scale. The contribution to the internal energy from the random kinetic energy of the molecules in the gas is called thermal energy. 

Thermal energy is the sum of all the random kinetic energies of the molecules in a substance, that is, the energy in their motions. The higher the temperature, the greater the thermal energy. On the Kelvin temperature scale, thermal energy is directly proportional to temperature. 

In the study of refrigeration, the Kelvin or absolute temperature scale is also used. This starts at absolute zero and has the same degree intervals as the Celsius scale, so that ice melts at + 2 73.16 K and water at atmospheric pressure boils at + 373.15 K. 

The temperature of a gas is ordinarily measured using a thermometer marked in degrees Celsius. However, as we will see in Section 5.2, in any calculation involving the physical behavior of gases, temperatures must be expressed on the Kelvin scale. To convert between °C and K, use the relation introduced in Chapter 1 ... 

The Rankine temperature scale resembles the Kelvin scale in that 0° is taken to be the lowest attainable temperature (0°R = 0 K). However, the Rankine degree is the same size as the Fahrenheit degree, whereas the Kelvin degree is the same size as die Celsius degree. What is die value of die gas constant in L-atm/(mol-°R) ...
