Question

Convert the following temperatures to the Celsius scale.

1. $430K$
2. $300K$
3. $274K$

Answer 1

The temperature on the Kelvin scale = Temperature on the Celsius scale $+273$

The temperature on the Celsius scale= The temperature on the Kelvin scale - 273

1. The temperature on the Kelvin scale $=430k$

The temperature on the Celsius scale $=430-273=157°C$

Thus, a temperature $430K$ is equal to $157°C$ on the Celsius scale.

2. The temperature on the Kelvin scale $=300k$

The temperature on the Celsius scale $=300-273=27°C$

Thus, a temperature $300K$ is equal to $27°C$ on the Celsius scale.

3. The temperature on the Kelvin scale $=274k$

The temperature on the Celsius scale $=274-273=1°C$

Thus, a temperature $274K$ is equal to $1°C$ on the Celsius scale.
