Question

Convert the following temperatures to the Celsius scale.

(a) $293\mathrm{K}$

Answer 1

Step 1: Given Value

The given temperature value in Kelvin is $293\mathrm{K}$.

Step 2: Formula for the conversion of Kelvin to Celsius

$T\left({}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}\right)=T\left({}^{\circ }\mathrm{K}\right)-273.15$

Step 3: Conversion of given temperature to Celsius

$$\begin{gathered} T\left({}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}\right)=T\left({}^{\circ }\mathrm{K}\right)-273.15 \\ =293-273.15 \\ =19.{85}^{\circ }\mathrm{C} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required temperature in Celsius is $19.{85}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$.
