Question

The melting point of lead is \[327\text{ }{}^\circ C\]. What is this temperature on the Kelvin scale?

Answer 1

Hint: Temperature is a physical number that describes how hot or cold something is. When a body comes into contact with another that is colder or hotter, it is the manifestation of thermal energy, which is present in all matter and is the cause of the occurrence of heat, a flow of energy. A thermometer is used to determine the temperature. Thermometers are calibrated in a variety of temperature scales that have traditionally defined temperature using a variety of reference points and thermometric substances.

Complete answer:
With the symbol Pb and the atomic number 82, lead is a chemical element. It's a type of heavy metal that's denser than most other metals. Lead is both soft and pliable, as well as having a low melting point. Lead is silvery with a tinge of blue when freshly cut; when exposed to air, it tarnishes to a drab grey tint. Lead has the greatest atomic number of any stable element, and three of its isotopes are nuclear decay endpoints for heavier elements.
A substance's melting point is the temperature at which it transitions from solid to liquid condition. The solid and liquid phases are in balance at the melting point. A substance's melting point is determined by pressure and is generally given at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 \[k{{P}_{a}}\]. The freezing point, also known as the crystallisation point, is the temperature at which a liquid changes back into a solid. The freezing point of a material might readily appear to be lower than its true value due to the tendency of substances to supercool.
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, use the Celsius to Kelvin Formula \[\mathbf{T}\text{ }\left( \mathbf{K} \right)\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{T}\text{ }\left( {}^\circ \mathbf{C} \right)\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{273}.\mathbf{15}\]
\[T\left( {}^\circ C \right)\] denotes the temperature in degrees Celsius, while T (K) denotes the temperature in Kelvin.
Simply add your answer by 273 degrees to get the Kelvin scale.
\[\mathbf{T}\text{ }\left( \mathbf{K} \right)\text{ }=\text{ 327 }+\text{ }\mathbf{273}.\mathbf{15}\]
\[\mathbf{T}\text{ }\left( \mathbf{K} \right)\text{ }=\text{ }600.15K\]

Note:
Lead is a post-transition metal that is largely unreactive. Its amphoteric nature exemplifies its weak metallic character; lead and lead oxides react with acids and bases and prefer to form covalent bonds. Lead compounds are generally found in the +2 oxidation state, rather than the +4 oxidation state seen in lighter carbon group members. Organolead compounds are the most common exception. Lead, like the lighter members of the family, has a proclivity for bonding with itself, forming chains and polyhedral structures.
