Tin melts at 232 under standard atmospheric pressure. Express this temperature
in kelvin
0°K------------273.15°K
0°K-------------0°C--------232°C
Conversion from °C to °K
°K = °C + 273.15
505k
To express the melting temperature of tin in Kelvin, we need to use the Kelvin scale, which is an absolute temperature scale where zero Kelvin (0K) represents the point at which all molecular motion ceases.
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, we simply add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. Therefore, to convert the melting temperature of tin from degrees Celsius to Kelvin, we add 273.15 to 232°C:
Temperature in Kelvin = 232°C + 273.15 = 505.15K
So, the melting temperature of tin is 505.15 Kelvin.
