Question

Convert the following temperature to Kelvin Scale (a) 100°C (b) 37°C​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)373.15 K

(b)310.15 K

Explanation:

Formula: °C + 273.15 = 273.15K

(a) 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K

(b) 37 + 273.15 = 310.15 K

Answer 2

Concept:

• Conversion of temperatures
• Kelvin and celsius scale
• The SI base unit of temperature is the kelvin, denoted by the letter K.
• As a thermodynamic temperature scale that uses absolute zero as its null point, the Kelvin scale is based on absolute thermodynamics.
• On the Celsius scale, formerly known as the centigrade scale, the degree Celsius is a unit of measurement for temperature.
• The term "degree Celsius" can be used to describe either a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or a measurement of the difference between two temperatures.

Given:

• First temperature = 100°C
• Second temperature = 37°C​

Find:

• The temperatures in the Kelvin Scale

Solution:

0°C​ = 273 K

To find the temperature on the kelvin scale, we add 273 to the value of the temperature on the celsius scale.

100°C​ = 100+273

100°C​ = 373 K

37°C​ = 37 + 273

37°C​ = 310 K

The temperatures are  373 K and 310 K.
