Answer 1

Answer:  $25.6^0C$,  $298.6K$

Explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like $^0C$ and $K$  

These units of temperature are inter convertible.

We are given:

Temperature of the gas = $78^0F$

Converting this unit of temperature into $^0C$ by using conversion factor:

$^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)$

$^0C=\frac{5}{9}\times (78^oF-32)$

$25.6^0C$

Converting this unit of temperature into $K$ by using conversion factor:

$K=t^0C+273$

$K=25.6+273$

$298.6K$

Thus the temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales are $25.6^0C$  and $298.6K$ respectively.
