Question

A sample of pure nitrogen has a temperature of 15°C. What is the temperature o nitrogen in units of Kelvin?

A) 300 K
B) 290 K
C) 288 K
D) 288.2 K
E) 288.15k

Answer 1

The temperature of pure nitrogen at 15°C converted into Kelvin is 288.15 K, making the correct answer option E) 288.15 K.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the temperature of pure nitrogen from Celsius to Kelvin, we use the following conversion formula: Kelvin (K) = Celsius (°C) + 273.15. When the given temperature is 15°C, the conversion to Kelvin would be:

K = 15°C + 273.15 = 288.15 K

Therefore, the temperature of nitrogen in units of Kelvin is option E) 288.15 K.

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you need to add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. In this case, the given temperature is 15°C. Adding 273.15 to it, we get:

Tkelvin = 15°C + 273.15 = 288.15 K

Therefore, the temperature of nitrogen in Kelvin units is 288.15 K (option E).
