1.	Scientists use the Kelvin scale (K) as an alternative temperature scale to degrees Celsius (°C) by the relation T°C = (T + 273)K. Convert the following to Kelvin:(i) -275°C (ii) 45°C (iii) -400°C (iv) -273°C
Answer» (i) -275°C = (-275 + 273)K = -2 K (ii) 45°C = (45 + 273)K = 318 K (iii) -400°C = (-400 + 273)K = -127 K (iv) -273°C = (-273 + 273)K = 0 K

Scientists use the Kelvin scale (K) as an alternative temperature scale to degrees Celsius (°C) by the relation T°C = (T + 273)K. Convert the following to Kelvin:(i) -275°C (ii) 45°C (iii) -400°C (iv) -273°C

Answer»

(i) -275°C = (-275 + 273)K = -2 K

(ii) 45°C = (45 + 273)K = 318 K

(iii) -400°C = (-400 + 273)K = -127 K

(iv) -273°C = (-273 + 273)K = 0 K
