Convert the following temperatures to kelvin:(a) 115.21°C, the melting point of sulfur; (b) 37°C, thenormal body temperature; (c) 357°C, the boiling pointof mercury.
Experiments were done on a certain pure substance X to determine some of its properties. There's a description of each experiment in the table below. In each case, decide whether the property measured was a chemical or physical property of X, if you can. If you don't have enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column.
Normal body temperature is 98.4°F. Calculate this temperature in degrees Celsius. To determine the conversion factors (if you can’t remember them), use the following: Freezing point of water = 0 oC = 32 oF. Boiling point of water = 100 oC = 212 oF. Use the correct number of significant figures in your answers.
