Module 2 Pretest Homework Packet
Part G Temperature
Conversion 5 points
The general formula
for the conversion of temperatures on scale X to temperatures on scale Y is:
oY
= Y units/ x units ( oX - RPx) + RPy
1.Write
the formula for the conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius:
2. Write the formula for the conversion
of Kelvin to Celsius:
3. convert
-196oC to oF
4. convert
-196oC to K
5. The Rankin scale uses a Fahrenheit
unit, but assumes zero to be absolute zero.
If absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is zero and on Celsius scale is
-273oC, calculate
absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale, then estimate the Freezing point of
water on the Rankin scale. (The BP water=212
oF=100 oC=373K)
