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?


Sagot :

The equation for comparing Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees is:
[tex]T_{f}=\frac{9}{5}*T_{c}+32[/tex]
then he has to monitor the temperature of 449,6 Fahrenheir degrees.
At the same temperature . . .

           Fahrenheit reading = (1.8 times Celsius reading) + 32 .

F = (1.8 x 232) + 32

F = 417.6 + 32

F =  449.6°
