5PRACTICE PROBLEM
Suppose you wanted to create your own temperature scale based on propyl alcohol (propanol) since you were unsatisfied with both the Celsius and Fahrenheit units. The melting point and boiling point of propanol on the Celsius scale are -126 °C and 97.2 °C, respectively. In the new scale, you define the melting point and boiling point of propanol at 0 °P and 150 °P, respectively. In terms of size, how does an ethanol degree compare to a Fahrenheit degree?
