In the metric system there are two official temperature scales: degree Celsius and kelvin. The kelvin temperature scale is obtained by shifting the Celsius scale so that 0 kelvin corresponds to absolute zero, the absence of any heat whatsoever. An equation approximating the relationship between the two scales follows:

a. Write an equation to find degree Celsius in terms of degrees kelvin.

b. If the boiling point of water in Celsius is 100˚ what is the comparable temperature in kelvin?

c. –40˚ is the point on a thermometer at which both degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are the same. What is this temperature in kelvin?
