Question

Temperature and Heat:

a) -207 °C, 66 K, Kelvin
b) -297 °C, 20 K, Kelvin
c) -297 °C, 20 K, Celsius
d) -207 °C, 66 K, Celsius

Answer 1

To convert from kelvins to degrees Celsius, subtract 273.15 from the kelvin temperature. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by (9/5) and then add 32. The conversions are made for the temperature of the surface of the sun, boiling point of gold, and boiling point of liquid nitrogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to convert temperatures given in kelvins to degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. The kelvin (K) is the SI unit of temperature and is used to measure thermal energy. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, it is an absolute scale where 0 K is the theoretical absolute zero - the point at which all molecular motion ceases. Temperature Conversions: b. The boiling point of gold (3080 K) c. The boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77.36 K)
