A) 166 K
B) 149 K
C) 131 K
D) 181 K
E) 249 K

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin, we can use the following formula:
K = (°F + 459.67) x 5/9

Plugging in the given boiling point of -224°F, we get:

K = (-224 + 459.67) x 5/9
K = 99.67 x 5/9
K = 55.37

Therefore, the boiling point on the Kelvin scale is approximately 131 K, which corresponds to choice C.
