Solution
The unit of temperature in the SI system is Kelvin.
A degree on the kelvin scale has the same magnitude as the degree on the Celsius scale but zero on the kelvin scale is equal to -273.15°C.
The temperature (0 K) is often referred to as absolute zero.
K =(0°C+ 273.15)
°C= (K-273.15)
There is another important temperature scale known as the Fahrenheit scale.
In this scale, the normal freezing point of water is 32°F and the normal boiling point is 212°F. Thus, 100°C equals 180°F.
Both the scales are related by the following equations:
[since 100 parts on the Celsius scale = 180 parts on the Fahrenheit scale]
