A ) Temperature Scale

1.) Temperature scale is a system by means of which temperature values are measured and
expressed numerically. It is the means of giving a number to hot or cold and all the grades in
between it. There is nothing logical about it because different people and sectors of activity have
different temperatures. For instance, Fahrenheit scale is standard in America, but the majorities
of the countries around the world utilize the Celsius scale. Kelvin scale is employed in science
and technical field.

2. )

Celsius:
Freezing point: 0 degrees ° C

Boiling point: 100 degrees °C

Fahrenheit:
Freezing point: 32 degrees °f

Boiling point: 212 degrees °f

Kelvin:
Freezing point: 273.15 °k

Boiling point: 373.15 °k2. )

The Kelvin scale is the only temperature scale that does not have negative temperatures.
The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are based on the freezing and boiling points of water.
The Kelvin scale is based on the absolute zero point, which is the lowest possible temperature.

1. Scales of Measurement in the Measurement of Temperature

There are three main scales used to measure temperature:There are three main scales used to
measure temperature.

Celsius (°C): This scale is in use in most of the countries of the world, excluding a few countries
including the United States. Controlled freezing is at 0 °C and controlled heating is at 100 °C for
water

Fahrenheit (°F): This scale is commonly applied to consumer products in the American market
as well as a couple of other countries. Water freezing point is 32 degree Fahrenheit while boiling
point is 212 degree Fahrenheit.

Kelvin (K): This scale is applied in research activities as well as the engineering disciplines.
This is an absolute temperature scale and temperature cannot go below the zero point of this
scale. Water or H2O has a specific property whereby they freeze at a temperature of 273 K. 15
K, and the boiling point is 373. 15 K

2. Conversion Formulas

Celsius to Fahrenheit:

°F = (°C * 9/5) + 32

Fahrenheit to Celsius:

°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9

For example, to convert 25°C to Fahrenheit:

°F = (25 * 9/5) + 32 = 77°F


To convert 77°F to Celsius:

°C = (77 - 32) * 5/9 = 25°C

Assignment

a. Celsius to Fahrenheit
● Given: 34.2°C
● Formula: °F = (°C * 9/5) + 32
● Solution: °F = (34.2 * 9/5) + 32 ≈ 93.56°F
● Answer: 34.2°C is approximately 93.56°F.

b. Fahrenheit to Celsius
● Given: 109°F
● Formula: °C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
● Solution: °C = (109 - 32) * 5/9 ≈ 42.78°C
● Answer: 109°F is approximately 42.78°C.

c. Celsius to Fahrenheit
● Given: 28°C
● Formula: °F = (°C * 9/5) + 32
● Solution: °F = (28 * 9/5) + 32 ≈ 82.4°F
● Answer: 28°C is approximately 82.4°F.

d. Celsius to Fahrenheit
● Given: 115°C
● Formula: °F = (°C * 9/5) + 32
● Solution: °F = (115 * 9/5) + 32 ≈ 239°F
● Answer: 115°C is approximately 239°F.
e. Temperature Difference
● Celsius: 97°F - 40°F = 57°F. Convert to Celsius: (57 - 32) * 5/9 ≈ 13.89°C
● Kelvin: Convert 97°F and 40°F to Kelvin:
○ 97°F: (97 - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15 ≈ 308.71 K
○ 40°F: (40 - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15 ≈ 277.59 K
○ Difference: 308.71 K - 277.59 K ≈ 31.12 K
● Answer: The difference is 13.89°C or 31.12 K.

f. Fahrenheit to Celsius and Kelvin


● Given: -297.3°F
● Celsius: (°F - 32) * 5/9 ≈ -182.39°C
● Kelvin: -182.39°C + 273.15 ≈ 90.76 K
● Answer: -297.3°F is approximately -182.39°C or 90.76 K.

g. Kelvin to Fahrenheit
● Given: 70 K
● Celsius: 70 K - 273.15 = -203.15°C
● Fahrenheit: (-203.15 * 9/5) + 32 ≈ -333.67°F
● Answer: 70 K is approximately -333.67°F.
