The deep body temperature of a healthy person is 37°C. What is this temperature in kelvins?
A
273 K
B
350 K
C
310 K
D
37 K
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the temperature given in degrees Celsius, which is 37°C in this problem.
Recall the formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin: \(K = ^\circ C + 273.15\).
Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature to convert it to Kelvin: \(K = 37 + 273.15\).
Perform the addition to find the temperature in kelvins (do not calculate the final value here).
Express the final answer as the temperature in kelvins, which represents the absolute temperature scale used in scientific contexts.
