Which statement about temperature scales is incorrect?

Question 7 options:

a)

Fahrenheit scale is the least used scale in science

b)

Celsius scale is - 273 degrees at absolute zero

c)

The lowest Kelvin scale temperature is zero

d)

There is no upper or lower limit for all temperature scales

Answer 1

c) The lowest Kelvin scale temperature is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature scales are used to measure the extent of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. They usually have bounding upper and lower limits. Commonly used temperature scales are:

• Celsius scale with upper limit as 100 °C and lower limit at 0°C

• Fahrenheit scale with upper limit of 32°F and lower limit at 212°F
• Kelvin scale has an upper limit of 373K and lower limit at 273k

Temperature scales have limits.

The lowest Kelvin scale is 273K . In most scientific recordings, the Fahrenheit scale is rarely used.
