Exercises

1. Convert the following temperatures to the Celsius scale:
a) 293 K
b) 470 K

2. Convert the following temperatures to the Kelvin scale:
a) [insert temperature here]
b) [insert temperature here]



Answer :

Sure, let's convert the given temperatures from the Kelvin scale to the Celsius scale.

To perform this conversion, we use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Temperature in Celsius} = \text{Temperature in Kelvin} - 273.15 \][/tex]

Let's apply this formula to each given temperature.

a) 293 K

[tex]\[ \text{Temperature in Celsius} = 293 \, K - 273.15 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Temperature in Celsius} = 19.85 \, ^\circ C \][/tex]

So, 293 K is equivalent to [tex]\( 19.85 \, ^\circ C \)[/tex].

b) 470 K

[tex]\[ \text{Temperature in Celsius} = 470 \, K - 273.15 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Temperature in Celsius} = 196.85 \, ^\circ C \][/tex]

So, 470 K is equivalent to [tex]\( 196.85 \, ^\circ C \)[/tex].
