Suppose you wanted to create your own temperature scale based on propyl alcohol (propanol) since you were unsatisfied with both the Celsius and Fahrenheit units. The melting point and boiling point of propanol on the Celsius scale are -126 °C and 97.2 °C, respectively. In the new scale, you define the melting point and boiling point of propanol at 0 °P and 150 °P, respectively. If the outside thermometer reads 99 °P, what would you wear to go out?

Convert 37 °C to K

The summit of a mountain has an average temperature of 13°F. Express the temperature in Kelvin.

The boiling point and freezing point for methanol are 64.7 °C and -143.7°F, respectively.

a. What is the boiling point in units of Fahrenheit (°F)?

b. Is methanol solid, liquid, or gas on a sunny 75°F day?

The Rankine temperature scale used in engineering is to the Fahrenheit scale as the Kelvin scale is to the Celsius scale. That is, 1 Rankine degree is the same size as 1 Fahrenheit degree, and 0 °R = absolute zero. What temperature corresponds to the boiling point of ethanol (78.37 °C) on the Rankine scale?
