- QUESTION 20 A laboratory experiment was done at 160.0°F. Convert this temperature to Kusing the following equations and round appropriately. Give your answer with one digit after decimal. °C = (°F-32) x 5/9 K =°C + 273.15 Note that the conversions between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin temperatures are exact. This means the fractions (5/9 or 9/5) and the numbers 32 and 273.15 are exact. So, use the addition/subtraction rule to determine the correct final answer.

I will afterwards write an wonderful review on solving the question. Thank you. For each piece of glassware measure the density of water in triplicate (three times). Why repeat the procedure multiple times for each piece of glassware? Running the measurement in triplicate increases the precision of our results and reduces the impact of a single outlier result. The experiment would be too short if you only ran each trial once The first two trials act as practice, and the final trial will give you the true result. Running the measurement in triplicate increases the accuracy of our results and reduces the impact of a single outlier result.arrow_forward(0.0041×20000.0)+(2817×14).
