### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Absolute Zero**: - The lowest possible temperature is defined as absolute zero, which is equivalent to -273.15°C. At this temperature, all molecular motion ceases. 2. **Introduction of the Kelvin Scale**: - Since temperatures cannot be measured below -273.15°C, the Kelvin scale was developed. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, making it a more useful scale for scientific calculations. ...
