snowfall may occur at temperatures around -5. oc. Convert this temperature to K. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. write answer in scientific notation
To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K), we need to add 273.15 to the Celsius value.
Given the temperature as -5 °C, adding 273.15 gives us:
-5 °C + 273.15 = 268.15 K
Therefore, the temperature in Kelvin is 268.15 K.
Expressed in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures, the answer is:
2.68 x 10² K
