1. Break Down the Problem

To convert a temperature from degrees Celsius (°C) to kelvins (K), we can use the formula: $K = °C + 273.15$ We need to apply this formula to the given temperature of 23°C.

2. Relevant Concepts

The relationship between Celsius and Kelvin is linear:

• Formula for conversion: $K = °C + 273.15$

3. Analysis and Detail

Now, we apply the formula:

1. Substitute the value of °C: $K = 23 + 273.15$

2. Perform the addition: $K = 296.15$

4. Verify and Summarize

The result of the calculation shows that the temperature in kelvins is approximately 296.15 K. Since we're looking for the closest match from the provided options, we can round this to 296 K.

Final Answer

The temperature in kelvins of 23°C is 296 K (Option D).
