Question

convert 314 k to degrees celsius.
round your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

°c

Explanation:

Step1: Use the conversion formula

The formula to convert Kelvin ($K$) to Celsius ($^{\circ}C$) is $T_{^{\circ}C}=T_{K}- 273.15$. Here, $T_{K} = 314\ K$.

Step2: Substitute the value

Substitute $T_{K}=314$ into the formula: $T_{^{\circ}C}=314 - 273.15$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$314-273.15 = 40.85$. Since 314 has three significant figures, the result should be rounded to three significant figures. So, $T_{^{\circ}C}\approx40.9$.

Answer:

$40.9^{\circ}C$
