Question

1°C rise in temperature is equal to a rise of ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The rise in temperature of 1° C is equal to a rise of 1.8 F ( Fahrenheit )

Answer 2

Concept:

• The Celsius scale, Kelvin Scale and Fahrenheit scale are the 3 common scales used when measuring temperatures
• There are simple formulas to convert temperatures on one scale to the other
• Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
• Fahrenheit = (9/5) C + 32

Given:

• The rise in temperature is 1°C

Find:

• The rise in temperature in terms of the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scale  equivalent to the rise in temperature of 1°C

Solution:

• For the Kelvin scale, the difference in temperature is the same as that in the celsius
• For the Fahrenheit scale, we use the formula

F = (9/5) C +32

Let the new temperature be C' = C +1

F' = (9/5) (C+1) + 32

The difference in Fahrenheit is F'-F

F'-F = (9/5) (C+1) + 32 - [(9/5) C +32]

F'-F= (9/5)C + 9/5 + 32 - (9/5)C -32

F'-F = 9/5 = 1.8

The rise of 1°C is equivalent to a rise of 1K and 1.8°F.
