Let's solve the problem step-by-step:
### Part (a): Converting the boiling point of water to Kelvin
Water's boiling point is given as [tex]\(100^{\circ}\)[/tex] Celsius. To convert this temperature to Kelvin, we use the relationship between the Celsius and Kelvin scales:
[tex]\[ K = {}^\circ C + 273.15 \][/tex]
So, the boiling point of water in Kelvin is:
[tex]\[ K = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 \, \text{K} \][/tex]
Thus, the boiling point of water is [tex]\(373.15 \, \text{K}\)[/tex].
### Part (b): Converting the boiling point of ammonia to Kelvin
Ammonia's boiling point is given as [tex]\(-35.5^{\circ}\)[/tex] Celsius. Again, using the conversion formula:
[tex]\[ K = {}^\circ C + 273.15 \][/tex]
We substitute [tex]\(-35.5\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ K = -35.5 + 273.15 = 237.65 \, \text{K} \][/tex]
Thus, the boiling point of ammonia is approximately [tex]\(237.65 \, \text{K}\)[/tex].
So, the final answers are:
- The boiling point of water in Kelvin is [tex]\(373.15 \, \text{K}\)[/tex].
- The boiling point of ammonia in Kelvin is [tex]\(237.65 \, \text{K}\)[/tex].
