    Difference between using temperature in Celsius and Kelvin

    Thank you to everyone for your answers and explanations. I think it makes sense now as to why the conversion to Kelvin is more trouble than it is worth. I think I was just misinterpreting the symbol T, neglecting the fact that I may need to adjust the coefficients of T if I were to convert it.

    Difference between using temperature in Celsius and Kelvin

    For one my homework questions I was asked to find the specific heat capacitance of a certain material. The specific heat capacitance has a temperature dependence given by: c = 0.20 + 0.14T + 0.023T2 the units for T is temperature in Celsius and c is measured in cal/gK. 2.0 g of the material was...
