Question

A student lists three temperature measurements: 100°F, 100°C, and 100 K. Of the three measurements, 100 K is the highest temperature.a. Trueb. False

Answer 1

The answer is False, or ¨F¨.

Answer 2

The answer is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which is the highest temperature we need to convert the °C and °F units to °C:

`T_(1) = 100 K`

`T_(2) = 100 ^(\circ) C + 273 = 373 K`

`T_(3) = (5)/(9)*(100 ^(\circ) F - 32) = 37.78 ^(\circ) C`

`T_(3) = 37.78 ^(\circ) C + 273 = 310.78 K`

Therefore, the answer is False, since the highest temperature is 100 °C.

I hope it helps you!
