Question

The metal tantalum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 4.483 K. Calculate the temperature at which tantalum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. 

Answer 1

The metal tantaium becomes superconduting at temperatures below \(4.483 \mathrm{~K}\). Kelvin(k)to celsius(\(^{\circ} C\))formula, temperature conversion

$$ \begin{aligned} T\left(^{\circ} C\right) &=T(K)-273.15 \\ T\left(^{\circ} C\right) &=4.483-273.15 \\ T\left(^{\circ} C\right) &=-268.667 ^{\circ} C \end{aligned} $$

The temperature at which titanium becomes superconducting in degrees celsius is \(-268.667^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Kelvin (K) to degree Celsius temperature conversion,

The temperature T in degrees Celsius is equal to the temperature T in kelvin minus 273.15.
