Question

A thermometer reads a temperature to be 38.0 °C. What is the temperature in

Kelvin? (Kelvin = 'Celsius + 273.15)
K

Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt 311.15 \ K}`

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert degrees Celsius to Kelvin, use the following formula.

`K= \textdegree C +273.15`

Since we are trying to find 38 degrees Celsius in Kelvin, so we should substitute 38 in for degrees Celsius.

`\textdegree C =38`

`K=38+273.15`

Add 38 and 273.15.

`K=311.15`

38 degrees Celsius is equal to 311.15 Kelvin
