In everyday experience, the measures of temperature most often used are Fahrenheit F and Celsius C. Recall that the relationship between them is given by the following formula.
F = 1.8C + 32
Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. You can get kelvins K from degrees Celsius by using the following formula.
K = C + 273.15
(a) Calculate that value.K(25) =
