Converting Temperature

So in Science we use a Celsius scale because it?s easier to use in calculations. But isn?t a Celsius scale and our gas problems cause a huge issue?
So a problem become we can?t divide by zero. In the 19th century, scientist were researching what was the lowest temperature possible. This Kelvin scale uses the Celsius scale but it started at absolutely zero. The temperature at which atom stop moving. Or Kelvin is well known for determining the correct value of the absolute zero as approximately -273.15 �C.
So just like Superman freezing most likely with his breath, it is all theoretical. It?s never really happen. But they have gone really close to absolute zero.
So for a 30�C, I wanna go to Calvin, I would take 30 + 273.15, punched it in my calculator. Don?t forget to do --- fix so your final answer in this case should really be 303.
To go from Kelvin to Celsius, you take 280 then this case you subtract 273.15 and you get a 6.85 again you have to do ---fix and since your number goes to the ones place you only go to the ones. So it?ll really be 7�C that you would record as your answer
Make sure to record in your note the following formulas so you have it when it comes to gas laws.
