Question

Convert the following:$17K$ into $°C.$

Answer 1

Step 01: Given data:

Temperature in Kelvin$=17K$

Step 02:

The relation between Kelvin and Celsius scale is given by,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{K}=\mathrm{C}+273.......\mathrm{equation}\left(\mathrm{I}\right) \\ \mathrm{Where}, \\ \mathrm{K}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{temperature}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{Kelvin}\mathrm{scale},\mathrm{and}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{temperature}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{Celsius}\mathrm{scale} \end{gathered}$$

Step 03:

Substituting the value of K in equation (I) we get,

$$\begin{gathered} 17=\mathrm{C}+273 \\ \mathrm{C}=273-17 \\ \mathrm{C}=256°\mathrm{C} \end{gathered}$$

Hence $17K$ is equal to $256°C$.
