kelvin to Celsius THE TRUTH!

[brianmay27]

ok. this is really weird but here it goes.

 

I want to prove my chem teacher wrong by saying the exact temperature of 0 kelvin. He says its -273.15 C but i cant say for sure. google, my ti-84 calc, converter sites say -272.15 C but others like wikipedia say -273.15. What is is :confused: Is it really that hard to get it right (hypthotical question)

Google says -273.15, and I believe that is the correct value.

o yeah, sorry pure stupidity. it was 1 kelvin and not 0.

-273.15*C according to every bit of literature i've ever read. or even experiments where we derived it empirically, though they were not accurate enough for the two following decimal places.

 

your chem teacher is going to know this value well, it is the preffered temperature scale for chemistry as it makes the mathematics a whole lot easier.
