Chemistry: Temperature Convertions
To convert from Kelvin to Celsius:
Kelvin = Celsius - 273 (The freezing point of water is therefore a balmy 273 Kelvin (K).)
In contrast to the Kelvin scale, the Celsius scale sets its zero at the freezing point of water.
Aside from that shift in zero-point, the two scales are identical. The size of a Celsius degree is
exactly equal to the size of a Kelvin degree.
At absolute zero, all elements are solids. At all temperatures greater than about 6,000K, all
elements are gaseous.
