Question

The average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 K. What would Celsius thermometers read for this temperature?

Answer 1

`"310K"` would be `37^@"C"`

Explanation:

The Kelvin scale and Celsius scale are the same, so if the temperature increased by `"1K"` then it also increases by `1^@"C"`.

The only difference between the two scales is that Kelvin starts at `"0K"`, which is equivalent to absolute zero or `-273^@"C"`.

Room temperature in Kelvin is about `"298K"` `(25^@"C")`.
