How to Convert Réaumur to Kelvin
To convert from degrees Réaumur (°Re) to kelvins (K), you multiply the Réaumur value by 1.25 and then add 273.15. This is because 1 degree Réaumur is equal to 1.25 degrees Celsius, and Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero.
Formula
Kelvin = Réaumur × 1.25 + 273.15
or
K = °Re × 1.25 + 273.15
Step-by-step process
- Take the temperature in degrees Réaumur
- Multiply that number by 1.25
- Add 273.15 to the result
- The result is the equivalent temperature in kelvins
Examples
- 0 °Re = 0 × 1.25 + 273.15 = 273.15 K
- 80 °Re = 80 × 1.25 + 273.15 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K
Frequently Asked Questions
How many kelvins are in a Réaumur degree?
The conversion from Réaumur to Kelvin is not a direct multiplication factor, as Kelvin is an absolute scale. It involves a multiplication and an addition: K = °Re × 1.25 + 273.15.
What is the Kelvin scale used for?
The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale, meaning it measures temperature from absolute zero. It is widely used in scientific fields, particularly in physics and chemistry, for precise temperature measurements and calculations.
