Why do we still need to know about the Rankine temperature scale? The Rankine scale is sort of like the Kelvin analog for Fahrenheit users Rankine is an absolute temperature scale, and has the property of having a 1°R change equal to a 1°F change This means Fahrenheit users who need to work with absolute temperatures will find it easier to use the Rankine scale instead of the Kelvin scale
physical chemistry - What is the difference between temperature and . . . Usually, we measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, Rankine, etc (note that Kelvin measures temperature as well--but it also measures thermodynamic temperature) Thermodynamic temperature is such that zero temperature is absolute zero (unlike Celsius, where -273 15°C is absolute zero)
Why is the volume of one mole of gas 22. 4 or 22. 7 dm3? It will assume different units and values depending on for instance whether the pressure is expressed in units of atmosphere ($\pu{atm}$) or pascal ($\pu{Pa}$); temperature in degrees Kelvin or Rankine; or volume in pints or litres
