Oxygen boils at `-183^(@)C`. This temperature is approximately

Options

A. `215^(@)F`
B. `-297^(@)F`
C. `329^(@)F`
D. `361^(@)F`

Explanation

To convert the boiling point of oxygen from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula:

\[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \]

Where:
- \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit
- \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius

Given that the boiling point of oxygen is \( -183^\circ C \), we can substitute this value into the formula.

### Step 1: Substitute the Celsius value into the formula
\[ F = \frac{9}{5}(-183) + 32 \]

### Step 2: Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times -183 \)
First, we calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times -183 \):
\[ \frac{9 \times -183}{5} = \frac{-1647}{5} = -329.4 \]

### Step 3: Add 32 to the result
Now we add 32 to the result from Step 2:
\[ F = -329.4 + 32 = -297.4 \]

### Step 4: Round the result
Since we are looking for an approximate value, we can round \( -297.4 \) to \( -297 \).

Thus, the boiling point of oxygen in Fahrenheit is approximately:
\[ \boxed{-297^\circ F} \]
