A temperature of 273.16 k is equal to what temperature on the celsius scale?
273.16 deg K = 0.01 deg C
Why is the kelvin scale used rather than the celsius scale?
Because the Kelvin scale is an absolute scale. In the context of thermodynamics, 2 K is twice as "hot" as 1 K. And 3 K is three times as "hot". That is not true of the Celsius or Fahrenheit (or other temperature) scales.
Convert 240 K and 468 K to the Celsius scale?
Sure thing, honey. To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, you just need to subtract 273. So, 240 K in Celsius is -33°C and 468 K in Celsius is 195°C. Stay cool, darling.
What is one kelvin equal to a change of temperature of how many degrees celsius?
Kelvin scale and degrees Celsius scale have equal increments, so for every increase of 1 K there is an equal increase of 1 degree Celsius. The scales are merely offset by about 273 units. Here is a formula for conversion: K=[degrees Celsius]+273.15
What temperature is equal to 120. K?
Absolute zero is -263.15 deg C. So, to convert a temperature from Kelvin to the Celsius scale, simply subtract 263.15. So 120 K is equivalent to -153.15 deg Celsius.
