Question

Convert following Kelvin temperature into Celsius.

$573\mathrm{K}$

Answer 1

Kelvin and degree celsius are two different scales that are used for measuring the temperature.

Kelvin and degree celsius are interchangeable and can be interconverted using the given formula:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{K}={}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}+273 \\ \mathrm{Where},\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{Kelvin}\mathrm{scale} \\ {}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{Degree}\mathrm{celsius} \end{gathered}$$

Given,

Temperature = $573\mathrm{K}$

$$\begin{gathered} 573\mathrm{K}=273-{}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C} \\ \mathrm{T}\left({}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}\right)=(573-273){}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C} \\ \mathrm{T}\left({}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}\right)=300{}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the temperature in ^oC is 300 ^oC.
