Chapter 0, Problem 0.57SP
Answer parts (a)–(d) of Problem 0.56 assuming that your new temperature scale is based on ammonia, NH3. On the Celsius scale, ammonia has a melting point of –77.7 °C and a boiling point of –33.4°C, but on your new scale calibrated in units of degrees ammonia, °A, you define ammonia to melt at 0 °A and boil at 100 °A.
