Question

The melting point of sodium chloride is 801oC. Calculate its melting point on the Fahrenheit scale?

Answer 1

1473.8⁰ F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion formula is:

(F - 32) / 9 = C / 5

C = 801 so

(F - 32) / 9 = 801/5 = 160.2

F - 32 = 9 * 160.2 = 1441.8

F = 1441.8 + 32

F = 1473.8.
