Final answer:

The conversion from Kelvin to Fahrenheit results in an impossible temperature. This implies a mistake in the provided temperature, as it's lower than absolute zero in Kelvin.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, you'll need to use the formula F = 9/5 (K - 273) + 32. Inserting the given value into this formula:

F = 9/5 * (1.00 x 10² - 273) + 32

Solving the equation results in F = -328.67 Fahrenheit. However, the Fahrenheit scale does not fall below -459.67, as that is absolute zero, so a temperature of -328.67 K is physically impossible. It seems there has been a mistake in the original temperature provided as 1.00 x 10² K is less than absolute zero in Kelvin scale (273.15 K).
