Question

Convert the temperature of dry ice, –77 ∞C, into degrees Fahrenheit and kelvin.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In order to convert temperature from degree Celsius to kelvin then we need to add 273 into the given temperature.

Therefore, converting $-77^{o}C$ into kelvin as follows.

           Temperature in Kelvin = $-77^{o}C + 273$

                                                  = 196 K

Now, convert temperature from degree Celsius to degree Fahrenheit as follows.

Temperature in degree Fahrenheit = $(-77^{o}C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32$

                       = $\frac{-693}{5} + 32$

                       = $106.6 ^{o}$ Fahrenheit

Thus, we can conclude that $-77^{0}C$ equals 196 K and $106.6 ^{o}$ Fahrenheit.
