Water boils at 0 degrees __________. Absolute zero is 0 degrees __________. In science, we do not use __________ to measure temperature.

A. kelvin, celsius, fahrenheit
B. fahrenheit, celsius, kelvin
C. celsius, kelvin, fahrenheit
D. kelvin, fahrenheit, celsius

Answer :

Final answer:

The correct sequence is Celsius for the boiling point of water at sea level, Kelvin for absolute zero, and Fahrenheit is not typically used in scientific temperature measurement. Kelvin is the absolute temperature scale used extensively in science. The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

Water boils at 0 degrees Celsius. Absolute zero is 0 degrees Kelvin. In science, we do not use Fahrenheit to measure temperature. So, the correct sequence is Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit.

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale commonly used in science. It is defined to have 0 K at the lowest possible temperature, known as absolute zero, where all molecular motion ceases. On this scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 273.15 K and 373.15 K, respectively. Unlike other scales, it is a true absolute scale and it is preferred in scientific work because physical quantities such as the volume of an ideal gas are directly related to absolute temperature.
