Chapter 1: Problem 64

Convert the following Kelvin temperatures to Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees. a. the temperature that registers the same value on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, 233 K b. the boiling point of helium, 4 K c. the temperature at which many chemical quantities are determined, 298 K d. the melting point of tungsten, 3680 K

Short Answer

Expert verified
a. 233 K: \(-40.15 \degree C\), \(-40.27 \degree F\) b. 4 K: \(-269.15 \degree C\), \(-452.47 \degree F\) c. 298 K: \(24.85 \degree C\), \(76.73 \degree F\) d. 3680 K: \(3406.85 \degree C\), \(6154.33 \degree F\)

Step by step solution

01

a. Converting 233 K

1. Convert 233 K to Celsius: \(C = 233 - 273.15 = -40.15 \degree C\) 2. Convert 233 K to Fahrenheit: \(F = (233 - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = -40.27 \degree F\) ---
02

b. Converting 4 K

1. Convert 4 K to Celsius: \(C = 4 - 273.15 = -269.15 \degree C\) 2. Convert 4 K to Fahrenheit: \(F = (4 - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = -452.47 \degree F\) ---
03

c. Converting 298 K

1. Convert 298 K to Celsius: \(C = 298 - 273.15 = 24.85 \degree C\) 2. Convert 298 K to Fahrenheit: \(F = (298 - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = 76.73 \degree F\) ---
04

d. Converting 3680 K

1. Convert 3680 K to Celsius: \(C = 3680 - 273.15 = 3406.85 \degree C\) 2. Convert 3680 K to Fahrenheit: \(F = (3680 - 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = 6154.33 \degree F\)
