The triple point of neon and carbon diox...

The triple point of neon and carbon dioxide are `24.57K` and `216.55K` respectively. Express these temperature on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Kelvin and Celsius scales are related as:
`T_(C)=T_(K)-273.15`…(i)
Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are related as:
`T_(F)=9/5T_(C)+32`…(ii)
For neon:
`T_(K)=24.57 K`
`:.T_(C)=24.57-273.15= -248.58^(@)C`
`T_(F)=9/5T_(C)+32`
`(9)/(5)(-248.58)+32`
`= 415.44 ^(@)F`
For carbon dioxide:
`T_(K)=216.55 K`
`:.T_(C)=216.55-273.15= -56.60^(@)C`
`T_(F)=9/5T_(C)+32`
`=9/5(-56.60)+32`
`= -69.88^(@)C`
