- The temperature on the surface of the Sun is 5.5 103 C. What is this temperature in kelvins?arrow_forwardThe boiling point of a liquid is calculated to be 454 K. What is this temperature on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?arrow_forwardThe radius of an atom is on the order of1010 m. What is this radius in centimeters? In inches? In nanometers?arrow_forward
- Convert the following Celsius temperatures to Kelvin and to Fahrenheit degrees. a. the temperature of someone with a fever, 39.2C b. a cold wintery day, 25C c. the lowest possible temperature, 273C d. the melting-point temperature of sodium chloride, 801Carrow_forwardMolecular distances are usually given in nanometers (1 nm = 1 109 m) or in picometers (1 pm = 1 1012 m). However, the angstrom () unit is sometimes used, where 1 = 1 1010 m. (The angstrom unit is not an SI unit.) If the distances between the Pt atom and the N atom in the cancer chemotherapy drug cisplatin is 1.97 , What is this distances in nanometers? In picometers?arrow_forwardAlthough the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forward
- Titanium metal is used in aerospace alloys to add strength and corrosion resistance. Titanium melts at 1677C. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?arrow_forwardZinc metal can be purified by distillation (transforming the liquid metal to vapor, then condensing the vapor back to liquid). The metal boils at normal atmospheric pressure at 1666F. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius? in kelvins?arrow_forwardthere was a change in temperature, it was recorded as 55 kelvins. Convert this change in temperature to Fahrenheit degrees.arrow_forward
- A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. (The ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) Fill in the missing part of this equation. 0.050 mol kg = ? mol g 口。 x10 X μ 0|0 Garrow_forwardThe mass of an iron nail is measured before and after being placed in a beaker of water for 2 days. It is found that 0.059 g of iron (3) oxide (rust) was produced over the 2-day period. What mass of iron in the nail reacted with the water? Assume the nail is pure ironarrow_forwardThe average temperature on the planet Mercury is 167°C. Convert this temperature to degrees Fahrenheit.arrow_forward
