Convert 25 °C to K.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to convert a temperature given in degrees Celsius (25°C) to Kelvin. The conversion formula from Celsius to Kelvin is K = °C + 273.15.
Answer
$298.15\, K$
Answer for screen readers
The temperature in Kelvin is $298.15, K$.
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the given temperature The temperature provided is $25^\circ C$.
-
Apply the conversion formula To convert Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula: $$ K = °C + 273.15 $$
-
Substitute the given temperature into the formula Now, replace $°C$ with $25$: $$ K = 25 + 273.15 $$
-
Perform the addition Calculate the value: $$ K = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 $$
The temperature in Kelvin is $298.15, K$.
More Information
The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale used widely in science, which begins at absolute zero. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is straightforward, as only a constant value is added to the Celsius degree.
Tips
- Forgetting to add the constant $273.15$ when converting from Celsius to Kelvin.
- Mixing up the conversion directions (Celsius to Kelvin vs. Kelvin to Celsius).
