False. To get Kelvin add 273 to °C to get your temperature into Kelvin. The correct boiling point of Aluminum in Kelvin is 2740 K.

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that aluminum boils at 2,467°C

Boiling point of aluminum in kelvins is 2,194 K

Temperature in degree Celsius can be converted into Kelvins by relation:


(T)^oC=273 +(T) K

So, boiling point of aluminium in Kelvins will be:


2,467 ^oC=273 +(2,467) K=2,740 K

2,740 K ≠ 2,194 K

But the given value in Kelvins is not coming equal to our calculated value, Hence, the given statement is false.
