Chapter 1, Problem 1.118QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The decomposition temperature of Sodium hydrogen carbonate given in degree Celsius has to be converted to Fahrenheit.

Concept Introduction:

Fahrenheit, Kelvin and degree Celsius are three representation of the temperature.  If we know the temperature in degree Celsius, then the temperature in Fahrenheit and kelvin can be calculated and vice-versa.  The formula used for conversion of degree Celsius to Fahrenheit is,

${\text{t}}_{\text{F}}\text{=}(\frac{\text{9 °F}}{\text{5 °C}}\text{×}{\text{t}}_{\text{C}}\text{) + 32}\text{°F}$
