In a problem, we have a situation, P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2 In the question,T1 and T2 are given in degree Celsius, V1 ,V2 and P1 are also given, In order to find P2, Is it necessary to convert T1 and T2 to Kelvin scale?

Solution
The explanation is as follows.
In the given situation described in your question, it is necessary to take temperature in kelvin scale reading. Since absolute values of temperature are used, this make the concersion necessary.
Then, when it is not necessary? So if there is a difference of temperature used or taken in any question. It is not necessary to make the conversion. As the difference in two temperature on both kelvin scale and Celsius scale is same. But if the case is with Fahrenheit scale then it requires proper conversions.
Hope it answers your question. All the best!
