Liquid nitrogen boils at 77 K. Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius.

Question

Express the temperature in Celsius as an integer.

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from Kelvin (K) to degrees Celsius (°C), you can use the formula:

\[ °C = K - 273.15 \]

For liquid nitrogen boiling at 77 K:

\[ °C = 77 - 273.15 = -196.15 \]

Rounding this to the nearest integer, the temperature in degrees Celsius is:

\[ -196 \]

Thus, the temperature of liquid nitrogen in degrees Celsius is -196 °C.
