Question

1. The following formula relates the quantities temperature in Celsius (C) and temperature in kelvins (K).
C = K − 273.15
(a) Write two other related equations.
(b) If the temperature is 23 in degrees Celsius, what is the temperature in kelvins? Show your work.
(c) Which is greater, 300 kelvins or 25 degrees Celsius? Show your work.

Answer 1

i believe the answer is C but i dont know so

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to part (a) is C+273.15=K and K-C=273.15

The answer to part (b) is if the temperature is 23ºC it would be 296.15 Kelvins, my work: Using the equation C+273.15=K the equation in this problem would be 23+273.15=296.15, therefore the answer is 23ºC is 296.15 Kelvins.

The answer to part (c) is 300 Kelvins is greater.

My work: Using the equation C+273.15=K in this problem I would use this equation to see how many Kelvins are equal to 25ºC, 25+273.15=298.15, therefore 300 Kelvins is larger than 25ºC because 25ºC is equal to 298.15 Kelvins

Hope this helps
