Question

The label on a pressurized can of spray disinfectant warns against heating the can above 130 °F. What are the corresponding temperatures on the kelvin temperature scale? Temperature:______K

a) 327.55K

b) 328.05K

c) 327.85K

d) 327.75K

Answer 1

The corresponding temperature on the Kelvin scale for heating the can above 130 °F is 327.55 K. Correct option is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The warning on the label of the pressurized can of spray disinfectant advises against heating the can above 130 °F. To determine the corresponding temperature on the Kelvin scale, we need to convert from Celsius to Kelvin. The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is K = °C + 273.15.

Therefore, if we convert 130 °F to Celsius, we get 54.4 °C. Adding 273.15 to this temperature, we get 327.55 K (option a).
