What exctly is absolute temperature?

Question

The scientists made a convention that triple point of Gallium has absolute temperatere 300 Nivlek.

I have glass container which contains cryptonite apparently at tripple point.

How can I establish absolute temperature of cryptonite?

Answer 1

The Absolute temperature scale begins at absolute zero (no atomic movement).

Answer 2

An absolute measure is based on a defined reference point, which is often zero, and the units of measure mark off fixed intervals.

In the case of absolute temperature, whose fixed interval units of measure are called degrees Kelvin, the reference point is in fact zero degrees Kelvin. There was reason for selecting 0 degrees Kelvin as the reference point. That's the point where, theoretically, all molecular motion ceases and, as you know, we call that point "absolute zero."

You gave 300 Nivlek as an absolute temperature; so it's not clear what you mean when you ask "How can I establish absolute temperature...?" Seems to me, you've already done that with the 300 Nivlek.

I presume, going along with this, 1 Nivlek = -1 Kelvin degree. So in the real world, your Gallium triple point (solid, liquid, gas) would be - 300 Kelvin, which is impossible unless you change the laws of physics by sliding into a parallel universe where the laws we know do not apply. May the force be with you.

Answer 3

Absolute zero is only a concept. If it were some how possible not only would you DIE... but you'd look pretty damn "cool" in the process... -Rimshot- If you were already dead and you somehow achieved absolute zero your body would crystallize... possibly becoming ice... um... of different colors... Think about this: When you put a slab of frozen meat on the counter, the counter becomes cold, right? Well if you got a body to achieve absolute zero, an extremely cold temp, then the table would also freeze, as well as the room, and pretty much everything around it. I couldn't imagine what the limit to this freezing radius would be.

Answer 4

I bet you're Superman in disguise...
Absolute temperature ('Nivlek' is 'Kelvin' backwards and probably refers to Gallium being in the opposite direction to absolute zero). Absolute temperature is NOT referring to Absolute zero directly.
Absolute zero is -273.15°C and is the temperature at which all molecular motion is believed to cease...To date, it has never been achieved.
Now, As Zero K is 273° below the freezing point of water at 0°C then the freezing point of water in Kelvin is 273 K which is its 'Absolute Temperature'.
The statement that Gallium has an absolute temperature of 300 K means it has moved 300° in the opposite direction from zero K and is therefore at 300 - 273 = 27°C as we normally measure temperature.
Kryptonite is a fictional substance ... how can you have a sample of it ?
If it were possible, all you have to do is take its temperature in °C and add 273 to get its absolute temperature in Kelvin but, please be very careful, as you know how Kryptonite affects you ....

Answer 5

Absolute temperature is essenatially temperature in Celsisus + 273 degrees. This is then called Kelvin, not nivlek...

The celsius scale is based on something we often observe, such as water freezing at zero degrees. Absolute temperature meanwhile is very profound. It is impossible to have a negative absolute temperature.

Answer 6

absolute zero is -273.1 degrees Celsius or zero kelvin and it refers to the temperature that matter's kinetic energy stops and ceases to exist, absolutee zero is for when all matter for all substances stops, so i suspect that 300 absolut temp refers to the temperature where gallium ceases to exist, i also know that absolute temp is relative to absolute zero but this is coming from a 11th grade B chem student and this is my first answer ever
