Given: K = °C + 273.15

What is the temperature of the flame in degrees Celsius?

You measure the flame of a candle and get a reading of 1,376.06 K. This value is equal to

Answer: 1102.91 ºC

Explanation: To solve this problem, we only need to isolate the temperature in Celsius from the given equation:

TK=TºC+273.15

TºC=TK-273.15

now, replacing the temperature of the flame in K:

TºC=1376.06-273.15

TºC=1102.91 ºC

Tk=TC+273.15

so

1376.06=Tc+273.15

TC=1376.06-273.15

TC = = 1,102.91
