Momentum Conservation 100% Correct with Step by Step Calculations The weatherman tells you that today will reach a high of 45°F. Your friend from Sweden asks what the temperature will be in degrees Celsius. What value would you report to your friend? Your father orders a fancy oven from England. When it arrives, you notice that the temperature dial is calibrated in degrees Celsius. You wish to bake a cake at 350°F. At what temperature will you have to set the dial on this new oven? Your new German automobiles engine temperature gauge reads in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. You know that the engine temperature should not rise above about 225°F. What is the corresponding Celsius temperature on your new cars gauge? Your grandmother in Ireland sends you her favorite cookie recipe. Her instructions say to bake the cookies at 190.5°C. To what Fahrenheit temperature would you set the oven to bake the cookies? A scientist wishes to generate a chemical reaction in his laboratory. The temperature values in his laboratory manual are given in degrees Celsius. However, his lab thermometers are calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit. If he needs to heat his reactants to 232°C, what temperature will he need to monitor on his lab thermometers
? You phone a friend who lives in Denmark and tell him that the temperature today only rose as high as 15°F. He replies that you must have enjoyed the warm weather. Explain his answer using your knowledge of the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales and conversion formulas. A gas has a boiling point of -175°C. At what Kelvin temperature would this gas boil? A chemist notices some silvery liquid on the floor in her lab. She wonders if someone accidentally broke a mercury thermometer, but did not thoroughly clean up the mess. She decides to find out of the silver stuff is really mercury. From her tests with the substance, she finds out that the melting point for the liquid is 275 K. A reference book says that the melting point for mercury is -38.87°C. Is this substance mercury? Explain your answer and show all relevant calculations. You are at a Science Camp in Florida. Its August 1st. Todays activity is an outdoor science quiz. The first question on the quiz involves a thermometer that reports the current temperature as 90°. You need to state the temperature scale in which this thermometer is calibrated: Kelvin, Fahrenheit, or Celsius. Which scale is correct? Defend your answer with your knowledge of the temperature scales.
