Why absolute zero of temperature doesn't depend upon properties of substance?
In my syllabus its written "understand that there is an absolute scale of temperature that does not depend on the property of any particular substance"I don't understand what you mean, can you clarify your question?
If you heat a piece of metal to 100 degrees how is that temperature any different than heating a piece of glass to 100 degrees, or a piece of wood ?
And by the way, "absolute zero" is not believed to be achievable in reality.

-273K is called absolute 0 temperature where there is no any kinetic energy in molecule . Practically it doesn't exist but theoretically it does . So, my question is why absolute zero temperature doesnot depend upon property of particular substance.do you wish to say that temperature of a body is not absolute and is defined with respect to material/substances?
do you say 50 degree of water or hydrogen.... or you have scale of measurements including thermodynamic scale.
Exactly. Just as there is a scale of length that does not depend on what you are measuring.In my syllabus its written "understand that there is an absolute scale of temperature that does not depend on the property of any particular substance"
See post #2-273K is called absolute 0 temperature where there is no any kinetic energy in molecule . Practically it doesn't exist but theoretically it does . So, my question is why absolute zero temperature doesnot depend upon property of particular substance.
That was too easy ! thanks manExactly. Just as there is a scale of length that does not depend on what you are measuring.
