Question:

Tin melts at 232 under standard atmospheric pressure. Express this temperature in kelvin

Answer:

Zero on the Celsius scale $(0{}^{\circ}C)$ is equivalent to $273.15\,K$, with a temperature difference of 1 deg $C$ equivalent to a difference of $1\,K$, therefore:

$$T = t + 273.15$$

where $T$ is temperature in Kelvin, $t$ is temperature in Celsius

$$T = 232 + 273.15 \cong 505\,K$$

Answer: $505\,K$
