The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of converting 25°C to the new temperature scale where the freezing point of water is defined as 100° and the boiling point as 0°, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the new temperature scale In the new scale: - Freezing point of water (0°C) corresponds to 100° on the new scale. - Boiling point of water (100°C) corresponds to 0° on the new scale. ### Step 2: Set up the conversion formula We can use a linear transformation to convert between the Celsius scale and the new scale. The formula for conversion can be expressed as: \[ K = \frac{(T - T_f)}{(T_b - T_f)} \times (K_b - K_f) + K_f \] Where: - \(K\) is the temperature in the new scale. - \(T\) is the temperature in Celsius (25°C in this case). - \(T_f\) is the freezing point in Celsius (0°C). - \(T_b\) is the boiling point in Celsius (100°C). - \(K_f\) is the freezing point in the new scale (100°). - \(K_b\) is the boiling point in the new scale (0°). ### Step 3: Substitute the values Substituting the values into the formula: - \(T = 25°C\) - \(T_f = 0°C\) - \(T_b = 100°C\) - \(K_f = 100°\) - \(K_b = 0°\) The equation becomes: \[ K = \frac{(25 - 0)}{(100 - 0)} \times (0 - 100) + 100 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the equation: \[ K = \frac{25}{100} \times (-100) + 100 \] \[ K = 0.25 \times (-100) + 100 \] \[ K = -25 + 100 \] \[ K = 75° \] ### Final Answer Thus, the temperature of 25°C corresponds to 75° on the new temperature scale. ---
