Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Conversion Formula
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, we use the formula:
\[
K = C + 273.15
\]
where \( K \) is the temperature in Kelvin and \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius.
Step 2: Apply the Conversion Formula
Given that the boiling point of liquid nitrogen is \(-195.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), we substitute this value into the conversion formula:
\[
K = -195.8 + 273.15
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the arithmetic to find the temperature in Kelvin:
\[
K = 77.35
\]
Final Answer
The boiling point of liquid nitrogen in Kelvin is \(\boxed{77.4}\).
