Question

Chlorine boils at 239 k. what is the boiling point of chlorine expressed in degrees celsius? (1 point) 93ºc 34ºc –61ºc –34ºc

Answer 1

To convert from celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15.
The number 273.15 is used because 0°C = 273.15

To convert from Kelvin to Celcius simply subtract 273.15

239- 273.15 = -34.15°C

Answer 2

Answer:
`-34^0C`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like
`^0C` and
`K`

These units of temperature are inter convertible.

We are given:

Temperature of the gas =
`239K`

Converting this unit of temperature into
`^0C` by using conversion factor:

`(t-273)^0C=tK`

`273K=0^0C`

Thus
`239K=(239-273)=-34^0C`

Thus the temperature is
`-34^0C`.
