Definition of Temperature in kelvin and reciprocal plots
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Temperature in kelvin and reciprocal plots in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Temperatures must be converted to kelvin before calculating 1/T, and ln k is plotted against 1/T rather than against T so the graph is linear.
