Question

A one-step conversion is sufficient to convert a temperature in the Celsius scale into the Kelvin scale, but not into the Fahrenheit scale.Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation for this statement has been given below.

Explanation:

$T(K)=T(^{0}\textrm{C})+273$

To convert temperature in Celsius scale, we have to add 273 with the given temperature in Celsius. Therefore it is an one step conversion.

$T(^{0}\textrm{F})=1.8T(^{0}\textrm{C})+32$

To convert temperature in Fahrenheit scale, we have to first multi given temperature in Celsius scale with 1.8 and then add 32 with it. Therefore it is a two step process.

Hence a one-step conversion is sufficient to convert a temperature in the Celsius scale into the Kelvin scale, but not into the Fahrenheit scale.
