Chapter 1, Problem 1.17P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Boiling point of helium has to be determined in degree Celsius and Fahrenheit if the boiling point is given as $\text{4}\text{.22}\text{K}$.

Concept Introduction:

Measure of relative tendency of heat that can escape from an object is known as temperature.  Some of the temperature scales that are used to express are kelvin, Fahrenheit, and degree Celsius.

The temperature in Kelvin scale can be converted into degree Celsius scale by using the equation below.

    $T(\text{in}\text{K})=t(\text{in°C) + 273}\text{.15}$

The temperature in degree Celsius scale can be converted into Fahrenheit by using the equation below.

    $T(\text{in}\text{°C})=\frac{5}{9}\left[t(\text{in°F) }-\text{ 32}\text{.0}\right]$
