Chapter SH, Problem 23.3APP

To determine

To calculate: The given boiling point in Celsius scale.

Answer to Problem 23.3APP

  $259°\text{F}$ in Celsius scale can be written as $\underset{\_}{\text{126}°\text{C}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Boiling point of ${\text{C}}_8{\text{H}}_{18}$ = $259°\text{F}$

Formula used:

Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is given by,

  $°\text{C =}\frac{°\text{F}-32}{1.8}$

Calculation:

  $259°\text{F}$ is written in Celsius scale as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}°\text{C =}\frac{259°\text{F}-32}{1.8}\\ \text{ = 126}°\text{C}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

  $259°\text{F}$ in Celsius scale can be written as $\underset{\_}{\text{126}°\text{C}}$ .
