Question

which of the following temperature conversions is incorrect (Kelvin=°celsius+273.15) a. -273.15°C, K=+0 b. -123°C, K=+150.15 c. +127.°C, K=+400.15 d. +450°C, K=+733.15

Answer 1

Option b (-123°C turning into +150.15K) is incorrect because when we apply the Kelvin to Celsius conversion formula (Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15), the result does not match.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the conversion formula, Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15, we can examine each option to identify the incorrect temperature conversion. Option a. -273.15°C = 0K is correct as the equation holds true. Option c. +127°C = +400.15K is also correct as 127 + 273.15 equals 400.15. Option d. +450°C = +723.15K is correct as 450 + 273.15 equals 723.15. Therefore, by process of elimination, we can see that option b. -123°C = +150.15K is incorrect because -123 + 273.15 does not equal to 150.15 but rather 150.15K.
