Question

“K+273 gives the temperature in kelvins(K) for a given temperature in degrees Celsius.What is the temperature in kelvins when the temperature is 55 degrees Celsius?” Evaluate the expression

Answer 1

we have that

The temperature T in degrees Celsius (°C) is equal to the temperature T in Kelvin (K) minus 273.15

so

°C=K-273.15

For T=55°C

substitute

55=k-273.15

solve for k

k=55+273.15

K=328.15°
