The Sahara desert with a very arid climate is one of the hottest regions in the world. Its average temperature is above 30°C or 86°F. In a 24-hour period, the temperature can go from a day-time high of 93°F to a low of 29°F at night. (a) By how many Celsius degrees does the temperature fall in the 24- hour period? 32.21 x °C (b) By how many Kelvin degrees does the temperature fall in the 24- hour period? 32.21 x K

The boa constrictor is a cold-blooded snake, meaning it must regulate its body temperature through sunlight and other external sources. If the boa's body temperature can change from 70.50°Fto 85.00°F, by how much can the boa's body temperature change in units of Kelvin? (round to nearest hundredth) _____K If the boa constrictor's temperature decreases by 15.00°C, by how much does it decrease in units of Fahrenheit? (round to nearest hundredth) ____°F
Assume a person has lungs that can hold V = 5.1 L of air (at 1 atm), and their body temperature is currently T = 35.5° C. How many moles of air does the average human have in their lungs when they breath in?
The outer diameter of a glass jar and the inner diameter of its iron lid are both 760 mmmm at room temperature (20.0 ∘C).
