Question

Convert the following temperatures to the Kelvin scale: 2a. 37°C 2b. 150°C

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} 37^OC\text{ = 310K} \\ 150^OC\text{ = 423.15K} \end{gathered}`

Explanation:

Given information

`37^oC`

recall that,

`\begin{gathered} 1K=T^oC\text{ + 273.15} \\ \text{Let T = 37}^oC \\ =\text{ 37 + 273.15} \\ =\text{ 310 }K \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 37 degrees Celcius is 310K

For 150 degrees Celcius

`\begin{gathered} 150\text{ + 273.15} \\ 423.15K \end{gathered}`
