Suppose you perform an experiment using the Celsius temperature scale and find a change in temperature of 5°C. Then you perform the same experiment again now using the Kelvin temperature and you have a temperature change of 5 K. you can state that: a) the kelvin temperature change is greater. b) these temperature changes cannot be compared with each other. c) the change in the Celsius temperature scale is greater. d) both temperature changes are equal.
