300 degrees Kelvin = 300 - 273 = 27 degrees Celsius.
So what you need to do is find out how many degrees Fahrenheit that is.
F = 9/5(27) + 32
F = 48.6 + 32
F = 80.6
You are at 55oF. You need to go from 55 to 80.6 or 25.6 degrees F.
Your closest answer is B. <<<<<< Answer
Answer:
B) increase the room temp by 26°F
Explanation:
From the given information:
Room temperature = 55 °F
Required temperature = 300 K
Conversion from K to °F:
[tex]F = 9/5(K-273) + 32\\\\For T = 300 K\\\\F = 9/5(300-273)+32 = 80.6F[/tex]
The required temperature in °F = 80.6°F
Therefore, the lab temperature must be increased by:
[tex](80.6-55)F = 25.6 F[/tex]
