Question

. In one day, the temperatures of a desert range from 110°F in the afternoon to 55°F at night. What

is this temperature range on the Kelvin scale?

Answer 1

30.5555°K

Can be rounded to 30.56°K

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between °C and °K is
°K = °C + 273.15

To convert °F to °K, first convert °F to °C and then add 273.15

°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9

So combining the two conversions we get
°K = (°F - 32) x 5/9 + 273.15

55°F = (55-32) x 5/9 + 273.15 = 285.9278°K

110°F = (110-32) x 5/9 + 273.15 = 316.4833°K

Temperature range in Kelvin scale

= 316.4833°K - 285.9278°K = 30.5555°K
