A piece of metal is at the temperature of melting ice, 0C. What is the temperature of a second identical piece of metal that is twice as hot?

0 C means 273.15 K in the absolute temperature scale. The second piece's temperature is 2 * 273.15 = 546.3 K. That means 273.15 C.

Think about it in absolute temperature scales. Do the conversion from Celsius to Kelvin and double that. That should be enough to get you started.
Note = 0 degree Celisus equals 273.15 Kelvin (not the number the other answerer mentioned).

K=373+C=373K Now 2x 373=746K
Now C=K-373 or 746-373, Therefore its 373C
