Question

Convert the following temperatures from K to °C.

100 K = °C

273 K = °C

6 K = °C

143°C = K

573°C = K

Answer 1

100K=-173.15C
273K=-0.15C
6K=-267.15C
143C=416.15
573C=846.15K

Formula for C to K
K = °C + 273.15

Formula for K to C
° C = K - 273.15

Answer 2

we know that

The formula to convert K to C is equal to

`\° C =\°K - 273.15\°` --------> equation
`1`

and

The formula to convert C to K is equal to

`\° K =\°C +273.15\°` --------> equation
`2`

case a)
`100\° K`

convert to C

substitute in the equation
`1`

`\° C =100\°- 273.15\°=-173.15\°`

therefore

the answer Part a) is

`\° C =-173.15\°`

case b)
`273\° K`

convert to C

substitute in the equation
`1`

`\° C =273\°- 273.15\°=-0.15\°`

therefore

the answer Part b) is

`\° C =-0.15\°`

case c)
`6\° K`

convert to C

substitute in the equation
`1`

`\° C =6\°- 273.15\°=-267.15\°`

therefore

the answer Part c) is

`\° C =-267.15\°`

case d)
`143\° C`

convert to K

substitute in the equation
`2`

`\° K =143\°+ 273.15\°=416.15\°`

therefore

the answer Part d) is

`\° K =416.15\°`

case e)
`573\° C`

convert to K

substitute in the equation
`2`

`\° K =573\°+ 273.15\°=846.15\°`

therefore

the answer Part e) is

`\° K =846.15\°`
