1.What is important to remember about the temperature unit for any gas law calculation?

When working with gas laws, it is important to remember that the temperature unit must be in Kelvin (K). In gas law calculations, such as the ideal gas law or Boyle's law, temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of gas particles. Kelvin is the metric unit of temperature that is used in scientific calculations because it is an absolute temperature scale where 0 Kelvin (-273.15°C) represents the absence of any particle motion.

To convert from Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K), you can use the formula:
K = °C + 273.15

To convert from Fahrenheit (°F) to Kelvin (K), you can use the following steps:
1. Convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

2. Once you have the temperature in Celsius, convert to Kelvin using the formula mentioned earlier:
K = °C + 273.15

By ensuring that the temperature unit is in Kelvin, you can accurately apply gas laws and perform calculations that involve temperature.
