204 °c
part: 1 / 2
part 2 of 2
convert this temperature to k. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.
k

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for converting Celsius to Kelvin

The formula to convert temperature from degrees Celsius ($^\circ$C) to Kelvin (K) is $K = ^\circ C + 273.15$.

Step2: Substitute the given value

We are given the temperature in Celsius as $204^\circ$C. Substitute this value into the formula: $K = 204 + 273.15$.

Step3: Perform the addition

Calculate the sum: $204 + 273.15 = 477.15$. Since the given value (204) has three significant figures, we can present the answer as 477 (or 477.15 depending on significant figure requirements, but 204 has three, so 477 is appropriate with three significant figures).

Answer:

477 K (or 477.15 K, but considering significant figures from 204, 477 K is suitable)
