1. It is known that the boiling point of water on the Kelvin temperature scale is 373.15 K and the freezing
temperature of water is 273.15 K. A temperature scale, called the Reaumur (R) scale, is defined by identifying the
freezing point of water as 0.0°R and the boiling point of water as 80.0°R. What is 62.3°R on the Kelvin scale?
Clearly define your variables.
The warmest temperature ever measured in the United States is 134 degrees farenheit on July 10,1913 in Death valley, California. convert the temperature to celcius and kelvin.
