Question

The temperature t in Kelvin is 273.15 more than the temperature c in degrees Celsius. Which function would you use to find the equivalent temperature in Kelvin for 100°C? Find the equivalent temperature. a. c(t) = t + 273.15; 373.15 K c. c(t) = t + 273.15; 153.75 K b. t(c) = c + 273.15; 373.15 K d. t(c) = c + 273.15; 153.75 K

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b: $t(c) = c + 273.15;\ 373.15 K$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that "t" represents the temperature in Kelvin and "c" represents the temperature in Degrees Celcius.

Knowing this, and knowing that the temperature in Kelvin is 273.15 more than the temperature in degrees Celsius (which means that the temperature in Kelvin is the sum of "c" and 273.15), you can write the following function:

$t(c)=c+273.15$

To calculate the equivalent temperature in Kelvin for 100°C, substitute $c=100$ into the function. Then:

$t(100)=100+273.15=373.15$

The equivalent temperature in Kelvin for 100°C is 373.15K.
