**Problem Statement:**

Convert the following temperature from Kelvin to Celsius:

**h.** 212.3 K to °C

**Solution:**

To convert a temperature from Kelvin (K) to Celsius (°C), use the formula:

°C = K - 273.15

Applying the formula to the given temperature:

°C = 212.3 K - 273.15

By calculating the above expression, you will find the temperature in Celsius.

**Conversion from Celsius to Kelvin**

To convert a temperature from degrees Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K), you use the formula:

\[ K = °C + 273.15 \]

**Example Conversion:**

Convert \(-18°C\) to Kelvin.

\[ K = -18 + 273.15 = 255.15 \, K \]

Therefore, \(-18°C\) is equal to \(255.15 \, K\).
