Chapter 1, Problem 34c,d,e

(c) During winter, the temperature of the Arctic region can drop below -50 °C, what is the temperature in degree Fahrenheit and in Kelvin? (d) The sublimation temperature of dry ice is -78.5 °C. Convert this temperature to degree Fahrenheit and Kelvin. (e) Ethanol boils at 351 K. Convert this temperature to degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius.

Verified step by step guidance
1
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \). For part (c), substitute \(-50\) for \(C\) to find the temperature in Fahrenheit.
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula: \( K = C + 273.15 \). For part (c), substitute \(-50\) for \(C\) to find the temperature in Kelvin.
For part (d), use the same formulas as in part (c) to convert \(-78.5\) °C to both Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, use the formula: \( C = K - 273.15 \). For part (e), substitute \(351\) for \(K\) to find the temperature in Celsius.
To convert the Celsius temperature obtained in part (e) to Fahrenheit, use the formula: \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \). Substitute the Celsius value you calculated to find the temperature in Fahrenheit.
