Question

Juan measured the temperature of salt water. He then added 273 to the measured value. Which conversion is Juan most likely doing?

degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
degrees Celsius to kelvins
kelvins to degrees Celsius
degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius

Answer 1

Answer:

Degree Celsius to Kelvin

Explanation:

0°C=273K.. So, we add 273 to x°c to get the temperature in Kelvin

Answer 2

The conversion that Juan is most likely doing is:

degrees Celsius to kelvins

• The formula for the conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin is :

        X°C + 273 = 273K

        where X is the temperature in degree Celsius.

• Kelvin used this as a basis for an absolute temperature scale in 1848.

• Along with Fahrenheit and Celsius, Kelvin is one of the best-known scales used to measure temperature
