1-25. The Reaumur temperature scale, while now obscure, was once in common use in some parts of the world. The normal freezing point of water is defined as 0 degrees Reaumur and the normal boiling point of water is defined as 80 degrees Reaumur. Tolstoy's War and Peace mentions the temperature "minus 20 degrees Reaumur." What is this in Celsius, Fahr- enheit, Kelvin and Rankine?

Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.
