Question

A faulty thermometer reads -4° c when placed in melting ice and at 98° when placed in contact with steam at normal pressure. What is the correct temperature on the celsius scale when this thermometer reads 32° ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperatures at which water freezes and boils under one standard atmosphere of air pressure are used to define the Celsius scale. The freezing point of water is labeled 0 (zero) degrees, and the boiling point is labeled 100 degrees. ... Another way to say this is that each Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 of a degree Celsius.
