Question

If the melting point of copper metal is 1085°c what is its melting point in kelvin

Answer 1

Answer : The melting point of copper metal in Kelvin is, 1358 K

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin is:

`K=273+^oC`

where,

`K` = temperature in Kelvin

`^oC` = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the melting point of copper metal in degree Celsius that is,
`1085^oC`. Now we have to convert it into Kelvin.

`K=273+^oC`

`K=273+1085`

`K=1358`

Therefore, the melting point of copper metal in Kelvin is, 1358 K

Answer 2

An arithmetical operator used for converting a quantity expressed in a set of unit into an equivalent in another set of units are known as conversion factor.

The conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin is given as:

`K = ^(o)C+ 273.15` -(1)

The melting point of copper metal =
`1085^(o)C` (given)

Substituting the value in formula (1):

`K = 1085^(o)C+273.15`

`K = 1358.15 K`

Hence, the melting point of copper metal in kelvin is
`1358.15 K`.
