Answer the following questions from [[Questions on Temperature and Temperature Scales]] in a clear and concise manner.<br> <br> 1. Average Kinetic Energy (KE) of all the particles in a substance.<br> <br> 2. Since it is an average KE, not all particles have the same amount of KE.<br> <br> 3. No, temperature is the average KE of all the particles in a substance whereas heat is the total energy of all those particles in the substance.<br> <br> 4. Fahrenheit (°F) and ēCelcius (°C)<br> <br> 5. Kelvin (symbol is K, no degree sign because degree sign is only for Relative Temperature scales)<br> <br> 6. K = 273 + °C<br> or <br> since 0K = -273°C (called Absolute zero), then K scale will always be larger than °C scale, by 273. So that is how you determine if you are adding or subtracting 273.<br> <br> <br> 7. original equation : K = 273 + °C<br> Modified equation: °C = K - 273<br> °C = 624K - 273 = 351 °C<br> or since K is larger than °C, I need to subtract 273 from K, <br> °C = 624K - 273 = 351°C<br> <br> <br>
