(a) The boiling point of acetylene is
(b) The bailing point of helium is 4 K. Below what temperature, in degrees Celsius, is helium a liquid?
(c) Human body temperature is normally
(a)
Interpretation:
The temperature in terms of Kelvin and degree Celcius at which acetylene exists as a liquid state.
Explanation of Solution
The conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to degree Fahrenheit can be done using the following relation:
Here,
The conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin can be done using the following relation:
Here,
The conversion of temperature from degree Fahrenheit to degree Celsius can be done using the following relation:
Here,
The temperature ( in
The boiling point of acetylene is given to be
Therefore, the temperature at which the acetylene exists as a liquid, in terms of kelvin is found to be
The temperature (in
The boiling point of acetylene is given to be
Therefore, the temperature at which the acetylene exists as a liquid, in terms of degree Fahrenheit is found to be
(b)
Interpretation:
The temperature in terms of degree Celcius below which helium exits in a liquid state.
Explanation of Solution
The temperature ( in
Here,
The boiling point of helium is given to be
Therefore, the temperature at which helium exists as a liquid, in terms of Kelvin, is found to be
(c)
Interpretation:
The normal temperature of the human body in terms of degree Celsius and kelvin.
Explanation of Solution
The temperature (in
The normal body temperature of the human body is
Therefore, the normal temperature of the human body in degree Celsius is found to be
The normal body temperature (in
Here,
The normal body temperature of the human body is
Therefore, the normal temperature of the human body in kelvin is found to be
