snowfall may occur at temperatures around -5. oc. Convert this temperature to K. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. write answer in scientific notation

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K), we need to add 273.15 to the Celsius value.

Given the temperature as -5 °C, adding 273.15 gives us:

-5 °C + 273.15 = 268.15 K

Therefore, the temperature in Kelvin is 268.15 K.

Expressed in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures, the answer is:

2.68 x 10² K
