Chapter A1, Problem 1E

Convert each temperature.
a. 32 0F to 0C (temperature at which water freezes)
b. 77 K to 0F (temperature of liquid nitrogen)
c. -109 0F to 0C (temperature of dry ice)
d. 98.6 0F to K (body temperature)

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

To convert: The given temperature into the required units

Explanation of Solution

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

The equation used to relate oF and oC is given as follows:

T(°C)=T(°F)321.8

Step 1: Substitute the temperature given:

T(°C)=T(°F)321.8

Step 2: Calculate Temperature

T(°C)=32321.8=01.8T(°C)=0°C

Interpretation Introduction

To convert: The given temperature into the required units

Explanation of Solution

An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.

The equation used to relate oF with oC and K with oC is given as follows:

T(°F)=1.8T(°C)+32T(K)=T(°C)+273.15

Step 1: Substitute the temperature given:

T(°C)=T(K)+273.15

Step 2: Calculate Temperature in °C

T(°C)=77273.15T(°C)=-196.15°C

Step 3: Calculate °F

T(°F)=1.8T(°C)+32

T(°F)=1.8(-196.15°C)+32T(°F)=321.07°F
