Question

The following formula relates the temperature in Celsius (C) and the temperature in kelvins (K).

C = K − 273.15
(a) If the temperature is 23 in degrees Celsius, what is the temperature in kelvins? Show your work.
(b) Which is greater, 300 kelvins or 25 degrees Celsius? Show your work.

Answer 1

a. K=300.15

b. 300 Kelvin is greater

Explanation:

a. If C=23. Place it in C=k-273.15

K=C+273.15 = 27+273.15

K=300.15

b. Put C=25, K=C=273.15

K=298.15 which is lesser than 300 Kelvins
