Fahrenheit To Kelvin Conversion Problem

A healthy person has a body temperature of 98.6 °F. What is this temperature in Kelvin?

Solution:

First, convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is

TC = 5/9(TF - 32)

Where TC is temperature in Celsius and TF is temperature in Fahrenheit.

TC = 5/9(98.6 - 32)
TC = 5/9(66.6)
TC = 37 °C

Next, convert °C to K:

The formula to convert °C to K is:

TK = TC + 273
or
TK = TC + 273.15

Which formula you use depends on how many significant figures you are working with in the conversion problem. It's
more accurate to say the difference between Kelvin and Celsius is 273.15, but most of the time, just using 273 is good
enough.

TK = 37 + 273
TK = 310 K

Answer:

The temperature in Kelvin of a healthy person is 310 K.

Fahrenheit To Kelvin Conversion Formula

Of course, there is a formula you can use to convert directly from Fahrenheit to Kelvin:

K = 5/9 (° F - 32) + 273

where K is temperature in Kelvin and F is temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

If you plug in body temperature in Fahrenheit, you can solve the conversion to Kelvin directly:

K = 5/9 (98.6 - 32) + 273

K = 5/9 (66.6) + 273
K = 37 + 273
K = 310

The other version of the Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion formula is:

K = (°F – 32) ÷ 1.8 + 273.15

Here, dividing (Fahrenheit - 32) by 1.8 is the same as if you multiplied it by 5/9. You should use whichever formula makes
you more comfortable, as they give the same result.

Example Problem:
Dry ice, or frozen carbon dioxide sublimes (phase change between solid to gas) at -78.5 °C under normal atmospheric
pressures. What is this temperature in Fahrenheit?

Solution:
The formula needed to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:

°F = 9⁄5°C + 32

where °F and °C are the temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius respectively.

To solve this, plug the celsius temperature, -78.5 °C into the formula.

°F = 9⁄5(-78.5) + 32
°F = -141.3 + 32
°F = -109.3 °F

Answer:
Dry ice sublimes at -109.3 °F under normal atmospheric pressure.
