A resistance thermometer and a thermocouple thermometer are both used at the same time to measure the temperature of a water bath. Explain why, even though both thermometers have been correctly calibrated and are in equilibrium, they may give different temperatures.
State how the absolute scale of temperature differs from other temperature scales.
State what is meant by the absolute zero of temperature.
The temperature of a water bath rises from $50.00^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $80.00^{\circ}\text{C}$. Determine, in kelvin and to an appropriate number of significant figures, the temperature $50.00^{\circ}\text{C}$.
Determine, in kelvin and to an appropriate number of significant figures, the change in temperature of the water bath.
