Convert 50 °F to °C and K.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The temperature 50 °F can be converted to 10 °C and 283.15 K

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Fahrenheit:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on the proposal of the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. The degree Fahrenheit is the unit of measurement.

02

Definition of Celsius

The degree Celsius can refer to a specific temperature on a Celsius scale or a unit used to denote a difference or range of temperatures between two temperatures.

03

Definition of Kelvin:

A Kelvin temperature scale is a temperature scale with an absolute zero below which no temperatures exist.Absolute zero, or 0°K, is the temperature at which a molecular energy is at its lowest, and it corresponds to a temperature of 273.15° Celsius.

04

Calculation:

  1. Fahrenheit to Celsius:

°C = [°F - 32] × (5/9)

= [50 - 32] × (5/9)

= 10.

  1. Fahrenheit to Kevin:

(°F− 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = K

(50°F− 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 283.15K.
