Textbook Question

Calculate each of the following temperatures in kelvins and degrees Fahrenheit: (3.3) a. The highest recorded temperature in the world was 58.0 °C in El Azizia, Libya, on September 13, 1922.

Verified step by step guidance

Start by converting the given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin using the formula: K = °C + 273.15.

Substitute the given temperature (58.0 °C) into the formula to find the temperature in Kelvin.

Next, convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.

Substitute the given temperature (58.0 °C) into the formula to find the temperature in Fahrenheit.

Ensure that all calculations are done accurately to obtain the temperature in both Kelvin and Fahrenheit.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Temperature Conversion

Temperature conversion involves changing a temperature value from one unit to another, such as Celsius to Kelvin or Fahrenheit. The formulas for these conversions are: for Kelvin, K = °C + 273.15, and for Fahrenheit, °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Understanding these formulas is essential for accurately calculating temperatures in different scales.

Celsius Scale

The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where 0 °C is defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C as the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. It is widely used in scientific contexts and is part of the metric system. Knowing how to interpret and convert Celsius temperatures is crucial for solving temperature-related problems.

Kelvin Scale

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in scientific contexts, where 0 K (absolute zero) is the point at which molecular motion ceases. The Kelvin scale does not use degrees; instead, it uses the unit 'K'. It is essential for calculations in thermodynamics and other scientific fields, making it important to convert Celsius temperatures to Kelvin for accurate scientific analysis.
