Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius: (a) 77 K, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, (b) 4.22 K, the boiling point of liquid helium, (c) 600.61 K, the melting point of lead.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) -196K

b) -268.78 C

c) 327.61 C

Explanation:

To convert temperature in Kelvin to degrees celsius, the formula is:

[tex]C = K -273 ----(1)[/tex]

a) 77 K, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen

Based on equation(1):

[tex]C = 77 - 273 = -196 C[/tex]

b) 4.22 K, the boiling point of liquid helium

Based on equation(1):

[tex]C = 4.22 - 273 = -268.78 C[/tex]

c) 600.61 K, the melting point of lead.

Based on equation(1):

[tex]C = 600.61 - 273 = 327.61 C[/tex]
