Temperatures in Biomedicine.
(a) Normal body temperature. The average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 K. What would Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature?
(b) Elevated body temperature. During very vigorous exercise, the body’s temperature can go as high as 40OC. What would Kelvin and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature?
(c) Temperature difference in the body. The surface temperature of the body is normally about 7CO lower than the internal temperature. Express this temperature difference in kelvins and in Fahrenheit degrees.
(d) Blood storage. Blood stored at 4.0OC lasts safely for about 3 weeks, whereas blood stored at -160OC lasts for 5 years. Express both temperatures on the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales.
(e) Heat stroke. If the body’s temperature is above 105OF for a prolonged period, heat stroke can result. Express this temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales.

That is, the person reads – x °C as x °F . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.arrow_forwardYou will be defining a new temperature scale in 0X, in which the freezing and boiling points of water are one-hundred forty degrees X and one-thousand eighty-five 0X, respectively. Correlate this to Celsius or Fahrenheit scales. The 0X reading on this scale is a certain number of degrees on a corresponding absolute temperature scale.
