Refrigerators are usually kept at about 5°C, while room temperature is about 20°C. If you were to take an ""empty"" sealed 2-liter soda bottle at room temperature and place it in the fridge, would you expect it to contract to one-fourth its original volume?
1. Yes, because 5 is one-fourth of 20.
2. No, because there is no gas inside the bottle.
3. No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale.

Respuesta :

Answer: option 3. No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale.

Explanation:

Answer:

3. No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale.

Explanation:

Note that  20∘C=293K  and  5∘C=278K . So the absolute temperature has not decreased by very much at all, certainly not by a factor of four. Therefore, the change in size of the plastic bottle would not be very noticeable.
