Internal human body temperature is often stated to be normal at 98.6°F. What is this temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales? (b) Gallium boils at 2205°C. What is the corresponding temperature in the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales? (c) The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77.0 K. What is corresponding temperature in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales?
Suppose you come across old scientific notes that describe a temperature scale called Z on which the boiling point of water is 65.00Z and the freezing point is –140Z. To what temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would a temperature of T= -98.00Z correspond? Assume that the Z scale is linear, that is, the size of a Z degree is the same everywhere on the Z scale.
A gas thermometer is used to measure the
temperature of a boiling liquid. The
thermometer is calibrated at the triple point
of water. Where the triple point pressure is
75 kPA and its liquid temperature reads 134
K, at 50 kPa it reads 134 K, and at 25 kPa it
reads 133 K. What is the accurate
temperature of the liquid in Kelvin?

- You are working as a research assistant for a professor whose research area is thermodynamics. He points out to you that Daniel Fahrenheit used the best estimate of normal human body temperature as one of the points indefining the original Fahrenheit temperature scale. On the revised scale we now use, normal human body temperature is 98.6°F. Your professor proposes a new scale on which normal human body temperature would be exactly 100°N, where the unit °N is a degree on the New scale. The temperature of freezing water would be 0°N, as on the Celsius scale. Your professor asks you to determine the following temperatures on his new scale: (a) absolute zero, (b) the melting point of mercury (-37.9°F), (c) the boiling point of water, and, for publicity at his expected future press conference, (d) the highest recorded air temperature on the Earth’s surface, 134.1°F on July 10, 1913, in Death Valley, California.arrow_forwardA bottle is completely filled with gasoline.
