What is the Celsius temperature corresponding to 300 Kelvin?

• A. 0 C
• B. 300 C
• C. -273 C
• D. 27 C

Answer: (D)

To convert between Kelvin and Celsius you subtract 273.15, because the two scales have the same degree size but Celsius is shifted by 273.15 from Kelvin. So for 300 K, the Celsius temperature is 300 − 273.15 ≈ 26.85 °C, which rounds to about 27 °C. That means 300 K corresponds to roughly 27 °C. For reference, 0 °C equals 273.15 K, and −273.15 °C equals 0 K, while 300 °C would be about 573 K.
