Question

A one-step conversion is sufficient to convert a temperature in the Celsius scale into the Kelvin scale, but not into the Fahrenheit scale.Explain

Answer 1

Explanation for this statement has been given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

`T(K)=T(^(0)\textrm{C})+273`

To convert temperature in Celsius scale, we have to add 273 with the given temperature in Celsius. Therefore it is an one step conversion.

`T(^(0)\textrm{F})=1.8T(^(0)\textrm{C})+32`

To convert temperature in Fahrenheit scale, we have to first multi given temperature in Celsius scale with 1.8 and then add 32 with it. Therefore it is a two step process.

Hence a one-step conversion is sufficient to convert a temperature in the Celsius scale into the Kelvin scale, but not into the Fahrenheit scale.
