Solution
The correct option is A 324.15
The celsius scale reads 273.15 degrees when the Kelvin scale reads 0 K. The general relationship between the two scales is given as:
T (K) = T (oC) + 273.15.
So, 51 oC can be converted to Kelvin as
T (K) = 51 + 273.15
= 324.15
The celsius scale reads 273.15 degrees when the Kelvin scale reads 0 K. The general relationship between the two scales is given as:
T (K) = T (oC) + 273.15.
