4. Fahrenheit (degF) and Celcius (degC) |
4. Fahrenheit (°F) and ēCelcius (°C) |
6. K = 273 + degC |
6. K = 273 + °C |
since 0K = -273degC (called Absolute zero), then K scale will always be larger than degC scale, by 273. So that is how you determine if you are adding or subtracting 273. |
since 0K = -273°C (called Absolute zero), then K scale will always be larger than °C scale, by 273. So that is how you determine if you are adding or subtracting 273. |
7. original equation : K = 273 + degC Modified equation: degC = K - 273 degC = 624K - 273 = 351 degC |
7. original equation : K = 273 + °C Modified equation: °C = K - 273 °C = 624K - 273 = 351 °C |
since K is larger than degC, I need to subtract 273 from K, degC = 624K - 273 = 351degC |
since K is larger than °C, I need to subtract 273 from K, °C = 624K - 273 = 351°C |
