Question

What is the temperature of the system expressed in degrees Rankine (R), Kelvin (K), and Fahrenheit (°F) if it is initially 12°C? Options: a) R = 491.67, K = 285.15, °F = 53.6 b) R = 485.67, K = 273.15, °F = 53.6 c) R = 491.67, K = 273.15, °F = 53.6 d) R = 485.67, K = 285.15, °F = 53.6

Answer 1

The temperature of the system is 491.67 R, 285.15 K, and 53.6 °F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature of the system can be converted to degrees Rankine (R), Kelvin (K), and Fahrenheit (°F) using the following formulas:

R = (°C + 273.15) * 9/5

K = °C + 273.15

°F = °C * 9/5 + 32

Substituting the initial temperature of 12°C into the formulas, we get:

R = (12 + 273.15) * 9/5 = 491.67

K = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15

°F = 12 * 9/5 + 32 = 53.6

Therefore, the correct answer is option a) R = 491.67, K = 285.15, °F = 53.6.
