Question

Convert the following temperatures to kelvin:

(i) 113°c, the melting point of sulfur
(ii) 37°c, the normal body temperature
(iii) 357°c, the boiling point of mercury.

Answer 1

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius value. The melting point of sulfur (113°C) is 386.15 K, normal body temperature (37°C) is 310.15 K, and the boiling point of mercury (357°C) is 630.15 K.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. Here are the conversions for the temperatures you've provided:

• (i) The melting point of sulfur, 113°C, in Kelvin is 386.15 K (113 + 273.15).
• (ii) The normal body temperature, 37°C, in Kelvin is 310.15 K (37 + 273.15).
• (iii) The boiling point of mercury, 357°C, in Kelvin is 630.15 K (357 + 273.15).

The correct option answer in the final for the provided temperatures are 386.15 K for sulfur, 310.15 K for normal body temperature, and 630.15 K for the boiling point of mercury.
