Question

The temperature difference between the inside and the outside of a house on a cold winter day is 33°F. (a) Express this difference on the Celsius scale. 0.55 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. °C (b) Express this difference on the Kelvin scale. 273.7 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. K

Answer 1

a) 0.56°C

b) 273.56 K

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to convert from Fahrenheit scale to Celcius scale we use the formula;

T(°C) = (T(°F) - 32) × 5/9

Where T(°F) = 33°F

Hence;

T(°C) = (33°F - 32) × 5/9

T°C = 0.56°C

b)

T(K) = T°C + 273

T(K) = 0.56 + 273

T(K) = 273.56 K
