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)
