To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, we need to use the formula:
K = (°F - 32) * (5/9) + 273.15
Plugging in the boiling temperature of gold in Fahrenheit:
K = (4892 - 32) * (5/9) + 273.15
K = 5398.66 K
Therefore, the boiling temperature of gold in Kelvin is 5398.66 K. Since the original temperature had 4 significant figures, the answer should also have 4 significant figures. Hence, the boiling temperature of gold in Kelvin is 5399 K.
The boiling temperature of gold is 4892. °F
Calculate the boiling temperature of gold in Kelvin. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.
