Question

Convert the following temperature into kelvin.

$-163°\mathrm{C}$

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 = $-163°\mathrm{C}$

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{T}\left(\mathrm{K}\right)=(273-163)\mathrm{K} \\ \mathrm{T}\left(\mathrm{K}\right)=110\mathrm{K} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the temperature in Kelvin is 110K.
