Question

Juan measured the temperature of salt water. He then added 273 to the measured value. Which conversion is Juan most likely doing?

Answer 1

Answer: Degree Celsius to Kelvin

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is the measure of degree of hotness or coldness. It is measured in units called as Kelvin (K) and degree centigrade .

The conversion factor is :

`t^0C=(t+273)K`

If 273 kelvin corresponds to
`0^0C`

if the temperature is
`t^0C` , then the temperature in Kelvin will be
`(t+273)K`.

Thus the temperature when added 273 to the measured value is in Kelvin.

Answer 2

Juan measured the temperature of salt water. He then added 273 to the measured value. The conversion is Juan most likely doing would be from Celsius to Kelvin. Zero on the Celsius scale (0 °C) is now defined as the equivalent to 273.15 K, with a temperature difference of 1 deg C equivalent to a difference of 1 K.
