Video transcript

Hello everyone today we are being asked to convert the following two Celsius or degrees Celsius a teen's fever of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The first thing we want to do is we want to recall the Formula four degrees Celsius and that is going to be 5/9 times the degrees in Fahrenheit subtracted 32. Using this equation, we can simply plug in the value 4°F, which is 99.5 and subtract that by 32. And this gives us an end value of 37.5°C. I hope this helped and until next time.

Textbook Question

(a) A sample of tetrachloroethylene, a liquid used in dry cleaning that is being phased out because of its potential to cause cancer, has a mass of 40.55 g and a volume of 25.0 mL at 25 °C. What is its density at this temperature? Will tetrachloroethylene float on water? (Materials that are less dense than water will float.)

(b) Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at room temperature and pressure. However, carbon dioxide can be put under pressure to become a 'supercritical fluid' that is a much safer dry-cleaning agent than tetrachloroethylene. At a certain pressure, the density of supercritical CO2 is 0.469 g/cm3. What is the mass of a 25.0-mL sample of supercritical CO2 at this pressure?
