Question

convert 286.8 k to degrees celsius. round your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Explanation:

Step1: Use Kelvin to Celsius formula

$T(^\circ\text{C}) = T(\text{K}) - 273.15$

Step2: Substitute the given value

$T(^\circ\text{C}) = 286.8 - 273.15$

Step3: Calculate and round to sig figs

$T(^\circ\text{C}) = 13.65 \approx 13.7$

Answer:

$13.7^\circ\text{C}$
