How do you convert Celsius to kelvin?
Answer:
K = C + 273.15
The Kelvin scale is based on the concept of Absolute Zero, the temperature at wich matter stops vibrating. This temperature is -273.15 C. To convert from Celsius to Kelvins add 273.15. For example 20C = 293.15K.
where K = Degrees in Kelvin and C = Degrees in Celcius
The Celsius and Kelvin scales use the same size degrees, but Kelvin has a zero point at absolute zero, not the freezing point of water. So Kelvin temperatures have values 273.15 degrees higher than the same temperature in Celsius.
Example : the boiling point of water is 100 °C , which is equal to 373.15 K
The Kelvin scale is based on the concept of Absolute Zero, the temperature at wich matter stops vibrating. This temperature is -273.15 C. To convert from Celsius to Kelvins add 273.15. For example 20C = 293.15K.
