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
