To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
1. Understand the relationship between Celsius and Kelvin: The Kelvin scale is simply a shifted version of the Celsius scale. The conversion is given by the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Temperature in Kelvin} = \text{Temperature in Celsius} + 273.15
\][/tex]
2. Apply the given temperature to the formula:
- Given temperature in Celsius: [tex]\( 56 \degree \text{C} \)[/tex]
3. Use the conversion formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Temperature in Kelvin} = 56 \degree \text{C} + 273.15
\][/tex]
4. Perform the calculation:
[tex]\[
56 + 273.15 = 329.15 \text{ K}
\][/tex]
Since the options provided are typically rounded to the nearest whole number, we compare our result:
- The calculated temperature: [tex]\( 329.15 \text{ K} \)[/tex]
- The closest rounded option: [tex]\( \text{Option B: 329 K} \)[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is:
B. 329 K
