Question

Convert the following temperature to Celsius scale: (a) 300 K (b) 573 K

Answer 1

1.300 -273
=27*C
2. 573-273
=300*C

Answer 2

Given : (a) 300 K (b) 573 K

 

Concept :  

To convert a temperature in Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale we have to add 273 to the Celsius temperature.

And to convert temperature in kelvin scale to the Celsius scale we have to subtract 273 from the Kelvin temperature.

 

Solution:

a)Temperature on Kelvin scale = temperature in Celsius scale + 273

300 = temperature on Celsius scale + 273

Temperature of Celsius scale = 300 - 273 = 27°C

Hence, a temperature of 300K on kelvin scale is equal to 27° C on Celsius scale.

 

b)

Temperature on Kelvin scale = temperature in Celsius scale + 273

573 = temperature on Celsius scale + 273

Temperature of Celsius scale = 573 - 273 = 300°C

Hence, a temperature of 573 K on kelvin scale is equal to 300° C on Celsius scale.
