Question

Galen, the great physician of antiquity, suggested scaling
temperature from a reference point defined by mixing
equal masses of ice and boiling water in an insulated container. Imagine that this is done with the ice at 0.00°C and the water at 100.0°C. Assume that the heat capacity of the container is negligible, and that it takes 333.4 J of heat to
melt 1.000 g ice at 0.00°C to water at 0.00°C. Compute Galen’s reference temperature in degrees Celsius.
