Chapter 13, Problem 107SCQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It has to be identified whether the given value lend credence to the given story of the establishment of the Fahrenheit scale.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal solutions: The solution in which interactions between molecules of the components does not differ from the interactions between the molecules of each component. For example the ideal solutions that conforms exactly to Raoult’s law it compare to the activity and activity co-efficient.

Melting point (or) freezing point: The pure crystal solids have a characteristic melting point, the temperature at which the solid melts to become a liquid. The transition between the solid and the liquid is so sharp for small samples of a pure substance that melting points can be measured to (0.1⁰C). Further Liquids have a characteristic temperature at which they turn into solids, known as their freezing point.
