my questions  
1. On which temperature scale does the average kinetic energy of molecules double when the temperature doubles? Answer: The Kelvin Scale. See page 291. See also page 343, Ch. 18  
2. Why is there a minimum temperature but no maximum temperature? Answer: The theoretical minimum temperature, zero degrees Kelvin,  is when the kinetic energies of molecules become zero. This makes logical sense. Experimentally, scientists have been able to slow molecules  down to very small,  but not exactly,   zero speeds. (Quantum physics, covered later in this course,  predicts that particles at very low energies experience  statistical  fluctuations above zero and never come completely   to rest.)   There is no theoretical  upper limit on the kinetic energy of molecules since they  could in principle absorb unlimited amounts of energy;  hence there is no maximum temperature.

my questions

1. Why can you comfortably hold your hand close beside  a flame, but not very close above it?  Answer: Because convection currents rise upward. On the other hand, the conductivity of air is small , thus very little heat arrives  to your hand placed beside the flame.
