Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given Celsius temperature is to be expressed in Kelvin units.
Concept introduction:
Temperature can be measured in Kelvin scale, Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale. Celsius is commonly used measurement unit for temperature. Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. The absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is the temperature at which all the thermal motion ceases.
