Answer to Problem 12STP
The statement I is true.
Statement II is also true and it is the correct explanation for statement I.
Explanation of Solution
A measure of an object's heat or cold is its temperature.
The temperature of an object determines how heat is transferred.
Heat is transferred from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature when they are in contact.
The relationship between degrees Celsius and kelvins is given as:
So, according to the relationship between Celsius and kelvin, statements I and II are true.
Kelvin is always numerically greater than Celsius.
