Answer: 14.85°C
Justification:
1) To convert Kelvin temperature tu Celsius temperature you subtract 273.15
2) This is the formula.
°C = K - 273.15
3) The conversion of 288 K to degrees Celsius is:
°C = 288 - 273.15 = 14.85 K
Kelvin temperature is called absolute temperature. The lower bound of the absolute temperature is 0 K., that means absolute zero and it is physically impossible to reach.
At 0 K or absolute temperature the atoms would stop vibrating meining that the entropy of the substance reaches it's minimum value, i.e. 0
Zero K is equivalent to - 273.15°C
