Interpretation:
Whether a Celsius scale with range of -10 to 110°C can be used to measure a temperature of 236°F or not needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The relation between two scales is as follows:
Here C and F stand for temperatures in Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale respectively.
Answer to Problem 206A
A Celsius scale thermometer can’t be used to measure the temperature of 236°F.
Explanation of Solution
Temperature in Fahrenheit scale is 236°F.
Upper limit of Celsius scale thermometer is 110°C.
Now putting the value of Fahrenheit temperature,
As the temperature is higher than the upper limit of Celsius scale temperature, so 236°F (equivalent to 113.33°C) can’t be measured with a Celsius scale temperature with a range of -10 to 110°C.
Thus, a Celsius scale thermometer can’t be used to measure the temperature of 236°F.
