Question

The boiling points of diethyl ether, acetone and n-butyl alcohol are 35°C, 56°C and 118°C respectively. Which one of the following correctly represents their boiling points in kelvin scale?
(a)	306 K, 329 K, 391 K
(b)	308 K, 329 K, 392 K
(c)	308 K, 329 K, 391 K
(d)	329 K, 392 K, 308 K

Accepted Answer

Answer is c) 308 K, 329 K, 391 K
Explanation:
Temperature in Celsius can be converted into temperature in kelvin by adding 273 to the Celsius value. Boiling points of diethyl ether, acetone and n-butyl alcohol are 308 K, 329 K, and 391 K respectively.
