A thermometer reads 25∘C. If the temperature in the room is then increased by 16 K, what temperature will the thermometer read, in degrees Celsius?

-232°C

Explanation:

the initial temperature read by the thermometer is 25°C

the temperature is further increased by 16K

converting 16K to °C

T°K - 273.15 = T°C

16 - 273.15 = - 257.1°C

The new temperature on the thermometer would be

25°C - - 257.1°C = - 232°C
