Question 13
In 2038, humans from planet earth made contact with the living intelligent beings of the cold moon of Saturn, the planet Titan. In this planet, the atmosphere is composed of 1% methane, which is the source of energy of these beings. These beings therefore developed a temperature scale based on the freezing point (−162 °C) and boiling point (−182 °C) of methane. The freezing point was set to be 0 T while the boiling point was set at 40 T. At this scale, at what would be the absolute zero temperature? (Note: 0 K = −273 °C)
