Chapter 3: Q. 3.96 (page 93)

The highest recorded body temperature that a person has survived is 46.5∘C. Calculate that temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and in kelvins.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Temperature in degree Fahrenheit is 116∘Fand in Kelvin is320K

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

The following are the given information to find the temperature in Kelvin and fehrenheit:

Body Temperature of a person=46.5∘C

02

Find the Temperature in Fahrenheit. 

The highest recorded human body temperature is 46.5degrees to Fahrenheit, which is converted as follows:

The temperature is calculated as follows:

Tc=TF-321.8

Where,

TCis Temperature in Celsius and TFis Temperature in Fahrenheit.

By using and changing the above equation,

TF=TC×1.8+32

=46.5×1.8+32=116∘F

Therefore, the temperature in Fahrenheit is116∘F.

03

Find the Temperature in Kelvin. 

We converted the temperature into Kelvin.

Using the equation,

TK=TC+273

Where,

TKis Temperature in Kelvin and TCis Temperature in Celsius

Substitute the values in above equation,

TK=TC+273

=46.5+273=320K

Thus, the Temperature in Kelvin is320K
