Chemistry · Colligative properties of dilute solutions: a relative lowering of vapour pressure, depression of freezing point, the elevation of boiling point and osmotic pressure

Kelvin scale has:

Kelvin scale has:

  • A. no fixed points
  • B. one fixed point.
  • C. two fixed points
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale defined by a single fixed point: the triple point of water at 273.16 K. Absolute zero (0 K) is a theoretical lower limit, not a fixed point. Therefore, the Kelvin scale has one fixed point.
