Another temperature scale frequently used in science is the Kelvin scale. In this scale. O is the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe, and it is 273.15 in the Celsius scale. Each I*K is the same as 1' C. so 10% K is the same as -263.15*C. 1. Water boils at 100°C. What is this temperature in K?

To transform a temperature from °C to K, we just have to apply the formula:


T(k)=T(\~C)+273.15

Where T(k) is the temperature in kelvin and T(C) the temperature in Celcius, let's replace 100 °C and calculate the equivalent temperature in kelvin:


T(k)=100+273.15=373.15k

Then, the answer is 373.15 k
