To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: F = 95⁢C + 32. Apply this formula to the given temperatures in Celsius.
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula: K = C + 273.15. Apply this formula to the given temperatures in Celsius.
For part (c), convert -50 °C to Fahrenheit using the formula from step 1, and to Kelvin using the formula from step 2.
For part (d), convert -78.5 °C to Fahrenheit using the formula from step 1, and to Kelvin using the formula from step 2.
For part (e), to convert 351 K to Celsius, use the formula: C = K - 273.15. Then, convert the result to Fahrenheit using the formula from step 1.

Concetti chiave

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

Temperature Conversion

Temperature conversion involves changing a temperature value from one unit to another, commonly between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. The formulas used are: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 for Celsius to Fahrenheit, K = °C + 273.15 for Celsius to Kelvin, and °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9 for Fahrenheit to Celsius. Understanding these conversions is essential for accurately interpreting temperature data in different contexts.

Sublimation

Sublimation is the process where a solid transitions directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This phenomenon occurs under specific temperature and pressure conditions, such as with dry ice (solid CO2), which sublimates at -78.5 °C. Recognizing sublimation is important for understanding phase changes and the behavior of substances under varying environmental conditions.

Boiling Point

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external pressure, causing it to change from liquid to gas. For ethanol, which boils at 351 K, this temperature can be converted to Celsius and Fahrenheit to understand its behavior in different environments. Knowing boiling points is crucial in chemistry for processes like distillation and understanding the properties of liquids.
