Chapter 3, Problem 102A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given temperature in Celsius scale needs to be converted into Kelvin scale.

Concept introduction:

calculating values in Kelvin scale is better than in Celsius scale as Kelvin is an absolute scale based on absolute zero while the zero on the Celsius scale is based on the properties of water and also the measurements given in Kelvin will always be larger numbers than in Celsius scale.

Answer to Problem 102A

$65^{0}C=338.15kelvin$

Explanation of Solution

$\begin{array}{l}kelvin=Celcius+273.15\\ kelvin=65+273.15\\ =338.15kelvin\end{array}$

Conclusion

Celsius scale is converted into Kelvin scale by adding 273 to the Celsius value.

$65^{0}C=338.15kelvin$
