The metal tin becomes superconducting at temperatures below 3772 K . Calculate the temperature at which tin becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The answer in °C is 3498.85°C

Explanation:

The Celsius scale is considered a derived scale, defined in relation to the Kelvin scale.

The zero on the Celsius scale is defined as 273.15 K. This means that 100°C is defined as the equivalent of 373.15 K.

The Celsius scale is of intervals but not of proportions, which means that it pursues a relative scale and not an absolute scale.

To calculate the temperature in °C at which the tin becomes superconducting we will use the following formula:

°C = Temperature in K - 273.15 = 3772 - 273.15 = 3498.85°C
