Final answer:
The correct Fahrenheit equivalent of 300 Kelvin is approximately 80.6°F, determined using the conversion formula °F = (K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32. However, the closest option provided is D) 68°F, which does not exactly match the precise conversion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to convert a given temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit. The temperature in question is room temperature, which is often used in calculations as 300 K. To find the temperature in Fahrenheit (°F), we can use the conversion formula from Kelvin (K) to Fahrenheit. The formula is given by °F = (K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32. Plugging in the value of 300 K into the formula, we get:
(300 K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32 = 26.85 * 9/5 + 32 = 80.6°F approximately.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is:
A) 32°F
B) 212°F
C) 572°F
D) 68°F
However, there is a discrepancy here because the correct calculation of 300 K to Fahrenheit is approximately 80.6°F, yet the provided options do not include this answer. Therefore, while option D is the closest, it is not the exact equivalent of 300 K. The calculation provided in the reference seems to have an error by suggesting that 300 K is equivalent to 68°F.
