Verified by Experts

We are given :
Triple point of Ne = 24 . 57 K
Triple point of `CO_(2)=216.55K`
we are to calculate :
Conversion of Kelvin scalse into Celsius and Fahrenheit scale .
We know that ,
Relation between Kelvin scale and Celsius scale is
`T_(K)-273.15=T_(C)`
For Neon , `T_(K)=24.57K`
`T_(C)=24.57-273.15=-248.58^(@)C`
For `CO_(2)T_(K)=216.55K`
`T_(C)=216.55-273.15=-56.60^(@)C`.
Relation between Kelvin scale and Fahrenheit scale
`(T_(K)-273.15)/(100)=(T_(F)-32)/(180)rArrT_(F)=(9)/(5)(T_(K)-273.15)+32`.
for neon , `T_(K)=24.57LrArrT_(F)=(9)/(5)(24.57-273.15)+32=-415.44^(@)F`.
For `CO_(2),T_(K)=216.55KrArrT_(F)=(9)/(5)(216.55-273.15)+32=-69.88""^(@)F`
