Temperature (2)<br />
thermodynamic temperature scale<br />
• (absolute, Kelvin scale)<br />
• pressure vs temperature t of gas at constant t volume<br />
and volume vs temperature of gas at constant<br />
pressure extrapolate <strong>to</strong> zero at - 273.15 o C<br />
• this is “absolute zero”<br />
• unit: Kelvin<br />
• Size of unit of Kelvin scale = that of Celsius scale,<br />
only shift of zero-point<br />
• This is the temperature scale which is used in most of<br />
