Question

temperatures expressed in the kelvin scale are _____ higher than temperatures in the celsius scale.

a. 460°
b. 200°
c. 283°
d. 273°

Answer 1

Answer: d

Explanation:

Celsius temperatures can be negative while kelvin goes down to absolute zero and doesn’t go any lower, thus no negative numbers

Answer 2

Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

The melting point of ice is 0 degree and the boiling point of water is 100 degree on Celsius scale. There are 100 divisions between the melting point and the boiling point.

The melting point of ice is 273 degree and the boiling point of water is 373 degree on Kelvin scale. There are 100 divisions between the melting point and the boiling point.

The relation between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale is

$\frac{C - 0}{100}= \frac{K - 273}{100}$

So, K = C + 273
