What is the value of -14oC on the Kelvin temperature scale?
Answer Details
The Kelvin temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 Kelvin represents the lowest possible temperature (absolute zero). The Kelvin temperature scale is related to the Celsius scale by adding 273.15 to the Celsius value. To convert -14°C to Kelvin, we need to add 273.15 to the value. Thus, -14°C + 273.15 = 259.15 K. Therefore, the value of -14°C on the Kelvin temperature scale is 259 K (option a).
