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:
-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.
