To convert 141°C to Kelvin, you add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature, resulting in 414.15 K. Always remember to write Kelvin without the degree symbol. This method ensures accurate conversion to SI units.

You will need a conversion factor of some type....but you are not given the units of 'T'.
If 'T' is 141 ° C then SI units (Kelvin) is 141 + 273.15 = **414.15 K **
Note that Kelvin has no degree symbol
If 'T' is 141 ° F this is 141 * (9/5) + 32 = 285.5 ° C
then 285.5° C = 285.5 + 273.15 =** 558.95 K ** ;
