Question

When the human body is exposed to extreme cold, hypothermia can result and the body’s temperature can drop to 28.68°C. Convert this temperature to K.

Answer 1

Answer:

299.83°K

Explanation:

So, kelvin is a means of measuring temperature, as the question implies. To convert Celsius, one form of measuring temperature, to Kelvin, another form of measuring temperature, we must know the conversion median. Our median is that 0°C = 273.15°K. So, now, as we know that 0°C = 273.15°K, 26.68°C = 273.15°K + 26.68°. Because 273.15K might as well be zero degrees celsius (according to our median 0°C = 273.15°K), we simply add 26.68° to 273.15K and get 299.83°K
