insert step 1> Convert the given temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula: \( T_{\text{C}} = \frac{5}{9} (T_{\text{F}} - 32) \).
insert step 2> Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature (87 °F) into the formula: \( T_{\text{C}} = \frac{5}{9} (87 - 32) \).
insert step 3> Calculate the difference: \( 87 - 32 \).
insert step 4> Multiply the result by \( \frac{5}{9} \) to convert to Celsius.
insert step 5> The result is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Temperature Scales

Temperature can be measured using different scales, the most common being Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). Each scale has its own zero point and degree increments, which means that a direct comparison between the two requires conversion formulas.

The pH Scale

Conversion Formula

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, the formula used is °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. This formula accounts for the difference in the zero points and scaling between the two temperature systems, allowing for accurate conversion.

Domanda del libro di testo

(b) Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at room temperature and pressure. However, carbon dioxide can be put under pressure to become a 'supercritical fluid' that is a much safer dry-cleaning agent than tetrachloroethylene. At a certain pressure, the density of supercritical CO2 is 0.469 g/cm3. What is the mass of a 25.0-mL sample of supercritical CO2 at this pressure?

(a) A sample of tetrachloroethylene, a liquid used in dry cleaning that is being phased out because of its potential to cause cancer, has a mass of 40.55 g and a volume of 25.0 mL at 25 °C. What is its density at this temperature? Will tetrachloroethylene float on water? (Materials that are less dense than water will float.)
