Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Conversion Formulas
To convert between Kelvin and Celsius, use the formula:
\[ K = C + 273.15 \]
To convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, use the formula:
\[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \]
Step 2: Convert Kelvin to Celsius for Row 1
Given in Row 1: \(0.0 \, \text{K}\)
Using the Kelvin to Celsius conversion:
\[ C = K - 273.15 = 0.0 - 273.15 = -273.15 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} \]
Step 3: Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit for Row 1
Now, convert \(-273.15 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}\) to Fahrenheit using the formula:
\[ F = \frac{9}{5}(-273.15) + 32 \]
