Chapter 5, Problem 7STP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative changes between the degree Celsius, degree Fahrenheit and kelvin are to be found out.

Concept Introduction:

The zero degree Celsius is equal to the 32 Fahrenheit and 273 K.

Answer to Problem 7STP

Correct answer: D. The change of $1°F$ is larger than the change of $1°C$ but equal to the one kelvin.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option:

Zero-degree Celsius is equal to the 32 Fahrenheit. So, when the temperature is increased by one degree Celsius then the temperature in degree Fahrenheit is 33-degree Fahrenheit and in kelvin, it becomes 274K.

Conclusion

For option A: If the temperature is changed by one degree Celsius then the degree Fahrenheit is also raised and larger than the Celsius.

For option B: If the temperature is changed by one degree Celsius then the degree Fahrenheit is also raised and larger than the Celsius.

For option C: If the temperature is changed by one degree Celsius then the degree Fahrenheit is also raised and larger than the Celsius.
