Solutions To Temperature Problems

1) The document provides examples of converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin temperature scales. It gives the conversions for 37°C, 80K, the difference between 97°F and 40°F, -40°F, and the boiling point of liquid oxygen at -297.3°F. 2) Temperature conversions include formulas for changing between scales and applying them to example values. 3) Key points covered are the relationships between the different temperature scales and performing unit conversions between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

Solutions to Temperature problems

1. Convert 37˚C to both Fahrenheit degrees and Kelvin.


9 9$ 37%
F = C # 32 = # 32 = 66.6 # 32 = 98.6 ˚ F ← That’s human body temp.
5 5

2. Convert 80K to both Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees.


First convert to Celsius by subtracting 273.15 K: T = 80 – 273.15 = -193.15˚C
9 $−193.15%
Then to Fahrenheit: F = C # 32 = 9 # 32 = −347.7 ˚ F
5 5

3. Calculate the difference between 97˚F and 40˚F in both Celcius degrees and Kelvin.
In Celsius degrees, these temperatures are
5 5 $67%
T1 = $ F − 32% = $ 97 − 32% = 5 = 37.22˚ C
9 9 9
5 5 $8%
T1 = $ F − 32% = $ 40 − 32% = 5 = 4.44 ˚ C
9 9 9
The difference is 37.22 − 4.44 = 32.78˚ C or 32.78 K

We would get the same answer using Kelvin because the size of the degree is the same, so
the difference would be the same.

4. Convert -40˚F to Celsius degrees.


5 $−72%
C = $F − 32% = 5 = −40˚ C
9 9

-40˚F = -40˚C; the two scales cross at that unique point.

5. The boiling temperature of liquid oxygen (O2) is -297.3˚F. Convert this temperature
to Celsius degrees and Kelvin.
5 5
First convert to Celsius: C = $F − 32% = $−297.3 − 32% = −182.9 ˚ C
9 9

Then to Kelvin by adding 273.15: K = 273.15 – 182.6 = 90.2 K
