Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Zeroth law of thermodynamics was stated after the first law of thermodynamics that is energy can only be transferred from one form to other and cannot be destroyed.

According to Zeroth law of thermodynamic when two systems or bodies are in thermal equilibrium with the third system then they will be in thermal equilibrium with each other. The system is in Thermal equilibrium when the pressure, temperature and volume do not change with time.

Conclusion:

If the two systems A, Bare in thermal equilibrium with the third system C, then the two systemsA and B are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. Thus, the given statement is false.

Introduction:

The Fahrenheit is the unit to measure the temperature. The symbol of Fahrenheit is °F.In Fahrenheit scale 32 is the freezing point and 212 is the boiling point ofwater.Celsius measures the temperature in which 0 degrees represents the freezing point of water and 100 degrees represent the boiling point of water.

Both are the unit to measure temperature and they are almost similar. In many countries the Celsius is accepted as the standard unit whereas in the United States Fahrenheit is the standard unit to measure temperature. The Celsius and Fahrenheit scale differ in the number of intervals between the ice point and the boiling point.

Conclusion:

The number of interval between the ice point and the boiling point is different for the Celsius and the Fahrenheit scale. Thus, the given statement is false.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The kelvin is the unit to measure temperature it is based on absolute scale means absolute zero is at zero kelvin and negative temperature are not in kelvin scale. The size of a unit Celsius is same the size of a unit kelvin that is the change in temperature of one Celsius is equal to the change in temperature of one kelvin.

The absolute zero in Celsius is at 273.15 whereas absolute zero in kelvin is at zero.

The conversion factor of Celsius to kelvin is:

  T(K)=T(°C)+273.15

Here, T(K) is the temperature in kelvin and T(°C) is the temperature in Celsius.

Conclusion:

The size of a unit Celsius is same the size of a unit kelvin that is the change in temperature of one Celsius is equal to the change in temperature of one kelvin. Thus, the given statement is true.
