liquid nitrogen boils at 77 k. convert this temperature to degrees fahrenheit

1 answer

To convert a temperature from Kelvin (K) to degrees Fahrenheit (°F), you can use the following formula:

\[ °F = \left( K - 273.15 \right) \times \frac{9}{5} + 32 \]

Let's convert 77 K to °F:

  1. Subtract 273.15 from 77 K: \[ 77 - 273.15 = -196.15 \]

  2. Multiply by \(\frac{9}{5}\): \[ -196.15 \times \frac{9}{5} = -352.07 \]

  3. Add 32: \[ -352.07 + 32 = -320.07 \]

So, 77 K is approximately \(-320.07\) °F.
