Question

A temperature of 1 c on the celsius scale is equivalent to a tempeature change on the kelvin scale is

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Zero on the Celsius scale (0°C) is now defined as the equivalent to 273.15K, with a temperature difference of 1 deg C equivalent to a difference of 1K, meaning the unit size in each scale is the same. This means that 100°C, previously defined as the boiling point of water, is now defined as the equivalent to 373.15K.

A change in temperature of 1°C is exactly the same as a change in temperature of 1 K. They are defined to be the same size. The only difference is where the two scales have their zero. Absolute zero temperature is 0 K.

For Celsius, 0°C is the freezing point of water. That turns out to be at an absolute temperature of 273.15 K.

Water boils at 100°C. So that is 373.15 K.

If you have any temperature expressed in °C, you just add 273.15 to that to convert it into absolute temperature in kelvin.
