Answer 1

Answer:

1) -29.27°F

239.1K

2)28.333°C

301.483K

3)50°C is greater

Answer 2

1). Given:

Boiling point of chlorine = -34 ° C

To Find:

Temperature in Fahrenheit (° F) = ?

Temperature in Kelvin = ?

Step-wise solution:

To convert the temperature in ° F when it is given in ° C apply following formula:

° F(temp) = [(9 ÷ 5)  ° C (temp)] + 32

° F (temp) = [(9 ÷ 5)  -34] + 32)

° F (temp) = (1.8) (- 34) + 32

° F (temp) = - 61. 2 + 32

° F (temp)  = - 29.2

Hence, the temperature in Fahrenheit scale is - 29.2 °.

Now to convert the temperature in Kelvin when it is given in ° C apply formula as below:

K (temp) = ° C + 273.15 (∵ 273.15 is considered absolute zero temperature at triple point of water)

K (temp) = -34 + 273.15

K (temp) = 239. 15

Hence the temperature in Kelvin scale is 239.15 K

2). Given:

Air temperature = 83 °F

To find:

Temperature in Celsius (° C) = ?

Temperature in Kelvin = ?

Step-wise solution:

To find the temperature in ° C when the temperature is given in ° F use the formula:

° C (temp) = (5 ÷ 9) ° F (temp) -32

° C (temp) = (5 ÷ 9) 83 - 32

° C (temp) = (5 ÷ 9) 51

° C (temp) = 0.55 × 51

° C (temp) = 28. 33

Hence, the temperature in Celsius scale is 28.33 °.

We know that temp in ° C = 28.33 ° from above calculation

Therefore to convert the temperature in Kelvin when it is given in ° C apply formula as below:

K (temp) = ° C + 273.15

K (temp) = 28. 33 + 273.15

K (temp) = 301.43

Hence the temperature in Kelvin scale is 301.43 K.

3. Given:

Temperature in celsius = 50 °C

Temperature in fahrenheit = 50 ° F

To find:

That 50 ° C or 50 ° F is greater =?

Step-wise solution:

To find which is greater we need to first convert either of the temperature in similar scale.

So let us covert 50 ° C into Fahrenheit scale.

Apply the formula:

° F(temp) = [(9 ÷ 5)  ° C (temp)] + 32

° F (temp) = [(9 ÷ 5) 50] + 32

° F (temp) = (1.8) (50) + 32

° F (temp) = 90 + 32

° F (temp) = 122

Hence 50 ° C is equivalent to 122 ° F

Therefore ,

50 ° F < 122 ° F = 50 ° C

Therefore we can conclude that 50 °C is greater than 50 °F.
