A temperature of 32.5 degrees Celsius converts to approximately what temperature in degrees Kelvin?

A305.5 degrees K.
B240.5 degrees K.
C492.5 degrees K.
D427.5 degrees K.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 305.5 degrees K. To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you simply need to add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. 32.5 degrees Celsius + 273.15 = 305.5 degrees Kelvin. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not properly convert the Celsius temperature to Kelvin using the formula of adding 273.15. For example, 240.5 degrees K is too low, 492.5 degrees K is too high, and 427.5 degrees K is also incorrect.
