Question

Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius;3a. 373K3b. 98K

Answer 1

To convert °C to K we usually apply this formula:

T(K) = 273.15 + T(°C)

To convert K to °C we have to apply this one:

T(°C) = T(K) - 273.15

a) Convert 373 K to °C:

T(°C) = 373 - 273.15

T(°C) = 99.85 °C

b) Convert 98 K to °C:

T(°C) = 98 - 273.15

T(°C) = -175.15 °C
