Question

How can I convert between temperature scales?

Answer 1

Conversion is quite trivial between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale.....

Explanation:

On the Kelvin scale, `"absolute zero = 0 K"`...whereas on the Celsius scale, `"absolute zero" = -273.15` `""^@C`. Conversion between the Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale is a bit more problematic..and I acknowledge that you may be a septic, and so such conversions are necessary.

For `"Fahrenheit to Celsius"`, subtract `32^@`, then multiply by `5/9`.

For `"Celsius to Fahrenheit"`, multiply by `9/5`, THEN ADD `32^@`.

It may be an idea to try to use the Celsius scale exclusively... Most USaian chemists I know would always quote a reaction temperature in Christian units even tho they might use the Fahrenheit scale for how hot/cold it was outside...
