Question

to determine the temperature of a gas in kelvins add ____ to the ____ temperature a) 100 degrees, celsius b) 273 degrees, fahrenheit c)273 degrees, celsius

Answer 1

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273 degrees to the Celsius temperature. This is because the Kelvin and Celsius scales have the same magnitude of degree. For practical reasons, using 273 is generally accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the temperature of a gas in kelvins, one needs to add 273 degrees to the Celsius temperature. This is due to the fact that there is a 100 kelvin difference between the freezing point and boiling point of water on the Celsius scale, which corresponds to a 100 degree difference in the Kelvin scale. A change of one degree Celsius is thus equivalent to a change of one kelvin.

An example of this conversion is if you have a temperature of 22.2°C. To convert this to kelvins, you would use the formula:

K = 22.2°C + 273.15 = 295.35 K

However, for most practical purposes, it is acceptable to use 273 instead of 273.15. The resulting temperature would be referred to as "two hundred ninety-five kelvins," not degrees Kelvin.

I believe that the answer is C. I did this last week
