Question

Convert the boiling point of alcohol is 78 degree celcius. what is the temperature on kelvin scale?

Answer 1

The answer is 351 K because we have to add 273 in Celcius temp. to get Kelvin temp.

Answer 2

Answer:

The boiling point of alcohol is 78 degrees Celcius. The temperature on the Kelvin scale will be $351.15K$

Explanation:

• we have the expression for converting a temperature on the Celcius scale to the temperature on the Kelvin scale is as follows,

        $T_{K}=T_{C}+273.15$         ...(1)

• Where  $T_K$is the temperature on the Kelvin scale and $T_C$is the temperature on the Celcius scale,

     

•   In question, it is given that,

          $T_C =78^0C$

          Substitute the above value into equation (1)

          $T_{K}=78+273.15$ 

                  $=351.15K$
