State whether the following statement is true or false:
$0^{\circ} C = -273 \ K$
$0^{\circ} C = -273 \ K$
(FALSE) The statement is False.
The relationship between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale is given by the formula: $T(K) = T(^{\circ}C) + 273.15$.
For $0^{\circ} C$,the temperature in Kelvin is $0 + 273.15 = 273.15 \ K$ (often approximated as $273 \ K$).
Therefore,$0^{\circ} C = 273 \ K$,not $-273 \ K$.
