The temperature in the Fahrenheit scale corresponding to 253 K is-

Concept:

Celsius scale:

• In this scale lower fixed point (ice point) is taken 0° and upper fixed point  (steam point) is taken 100°.
• The temperature measured on this scale all in degree Celsius (°C).

Fahrenheit scale:

• This scale of temperature has lower fixed point (ice point) as 32° F and upper fixed point  (steam point)as 212° F.
• The change in temperature of 1° F corresponds to a change of less than 1° on Celsius scale.

Kelvin scale:

• The Kelvin temperature scale is also known as thermodynamic scale. The triple point of water is also selected to be the zero of scale of temperature.
• The temperatures measured on this scale are in Kelvin (K).

All these temperatures are related to each other by the following relationship –

\(\frac{{F - 32^\circ }}{9} = \frac{C}{5} = \frac{{K - 273}}{5}\)
Calculation: 
Given – the temperature on the Kelvin scale is in 253 K.

The relation between Fahrenheit and Kelvin is

\(\frac{{F - 32^\circ }}{9} = \frac{{K - 273}}{5}\)

\(\therefore \frac{{F - 32^\circ }}{9} = \frac{{253 - 273}}{5}\)

F = - 4° F
