brianmay27 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 ok. this is really weird but here it goes. I want to prove my chem teacher wrong by saying the exact temperature of 0 kelvin. He says its -273.15 C but i cant say for sure. google, my ti-84 calc, converter sites say -272.15 C but others like wikipedia say -273.15. What is is :confused: Is it really that hard to get it right (hypthotical question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Google says -273.15, and I believe that is the correct value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 -273.15*C according to every bit of literature i've ever read. or even experiments where we derived it empirically, though they were not accurate enough for the two following decimal places. your chem teacher is going to know this value well, it is the preffered temperature scale for chemistry as it makes the mathematics a whole lot easier.
