Question

Convert $273$ Kelvin into Celsius.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given information

• The temperature in Kelvin is $273\mathrm{K}$.

Step 2: Formula for the conversion of Kelvin into degree Celsius

$T\left(°\mathrm{C}\right)=T\left(\mathrm{K}\right)\mathit{-}273.15$

• $T\left(°\mathrm{C}\right)$ is the temperature in degree Celsius.
• $T\left(\mathrm{K}\right)$ is the temperature in Kelvin.

Step 3: Convert $273\mathrm{K}$ into degrees Celsius

$\begin{array}{rcl}T\left(°\mathrm{C}\right)& =& T\left(\mathrm{K}\right)\mathit{-}273.15\\ & =& 273-273.15\\ & =& -0.15°\mathrm{C}\end{array}$

Therefore, the $\mathbf{273}\mathbf{}\mathbf{K}$ temperature is equal to $\mathbf{-}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{15}\mathbf{°}\mathbf{C}$.
