The correct Answer is:
To convert the temperatures of liquid oxygen from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \] where \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit and \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius. ### Step 1: Convert -218.4 °C to Fahrenheit 1. **Substitute -218.4 for C in the formula**: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}(-218.4) + 32 \] 2. **Calculate \(\frac{9}{5} \times -218.4\)**: \[ \frac{9}{5} \times -218.4 = -392.112 \] 3. **Add 32 to the result**: \[ F = -392.112 + 32 = -360.112 \] Thus, the freezing point of liquid oxygen in Fahrenheit is approximately: \[ F \approx -360.112 \, °F \] ### Step 2: Convert -183 °C to Fahrenheit 1. **Substitute -183 for C in the formula**: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}(-183) + 32 \] 2. **Calculate \(\frac{9}{5} \times -183\)**: \[ \frac{9}{5} \times -183 = -329.4 \] 3. **Add 32 to the result**: \[ F = -329.4 + 32 = -297.4 \] Thus, the boiling point of liquid oxygen in Fahrenheit is approximately: \[ F \approx -297.4 \, °F \] ### Final Answer: - The freezing point of liquid oxygen is approximately **-360.112 °F**. - The boiling point of liquid oxygen is approximately **-297.4 °F**. ---
