Question

Convert the following temperature to a Celsius scale:
(a) 300 K

(b) 573 K

Answer 1

The temperature in kelvins = Temperature in $°C+273$

1. $$\begin{gathered} 300\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{temperature}\mathrm{in}°\mathrm{C}+273 \\ \mathrm{temperature}\mathrm{in}°\mathrm{C}=300-273 \\ =27°\mathrm{C}. \end{gathered}$$

2. $$\begin{gathered} 573\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{temperature}\mathrm{in}°\mathrm{C}+273 \\ \mathrm{temperature}\mathrm{in}°\mathrm{C}=573-273 \\ =300°\mathrm{C}. \end{gathered}$$
