The thermostat on an incubator reads 65°C. What is this temperature on the Kelvin scale?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero (theoretical lowest possible temperature) and each degree is the same as a degree Celsius. To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. Therefore, 65°C + 273.15 = 338.15 K, which can be rounded to 338 K. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they involve negative Kelvin temperatures which are not possible according to the laws of thermodynamics.
