Question

The melting point of silver is 962°C. How do you express this temperature in kelvins?

Answer 1

On the

Kelvin scale

, the normal freezing point of water is

273

K

above absolute zero. The

Celsius scale

places the freezing point of water at

0

∘

C

.

Explanation:

And thus

962

∘

C

=

(

962

+

273

)

⋅

K

=

?

K

Answer 2

Temperature in Kelvin = (273) + Temperature in Celsius.

So, T (K) = 273 + 962 K = 1235 K.
