Final answer:

The question involves conversion of temperature from Kelvin to Celsius using the formula, C = K - 273. Hence, a Kelvin temperature of 300 converts to 27°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has provided a formula for converting kelvin to celsius. Kelvin (K) and Celsius (°C) are both units of temperature, but they use different starting points or 'zeroes'. We convert from Kelvin to Celsius by subtracting 273 from the Kelvin temperature as depicted by the equation C = K - 273. Therefore if K = 300, we subtract 273 from 300 to get the Celsius temperature. Hence, the Celsius temperature corresponding to 300K is 27°C, as represented by the formula C = 300 - 273. This means if the temperature is 300K, the equivalent temperature in Celsius is 27°C.
