The normal body temperature can range from 36.50C & 37.20C, respectively. Represent the values in 0F. If the temperature of a body rises from 900C to 980C, what is the equivalent in Kelvin scale?
Solution
For his question solution is obtained easily by converting temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit and also by converting temperature in Celsius to kelvin. We use temperature converting formulas to obtain required solutions in Fahrenheit and also in kelvin and Kelvin scale stars from 273.15k .
Complete step-by-step solution:
The Celsius temperature range was originally defined by setting zero as the temperature at which water froze. Later onward zero Celsius is defined as the temperature at which ice melts in kelvin zero degree Celsius is equal to 273.15 kelvin.
Celsius to Fahrenheit converting formula is given as below
0F=0C×1.8+32 ⋯⋯(1)
In the question the normal body temperature ranges from 36.50C & 37.20C
Step 1: Take 320C from the given data and substituted in formula (1)
After substituting
0F=36.5×1.8+32
0F=97.7
Step2: Take 37.20C from the given data and substituted in formula (1)
0F=37.2×1.8+32
0F=98.96
The normal body temperature in Celsius is converted into Fahrenheit and is as follows
36.50C = 97.70F
37.20C = 98.960F
Temperature of a body rises from900C to 980C is mentioned in the question and we have to obtain the equivalent temperature in kelvin
Celsius to kelvin converting formula is given as below
kelvin(K)=273.15+0C ⋯⋯(2)
Step1: Take 900C from the given data and substitute in equation (2)
On substituting
K=273.15+900C
K=363.15
Step2: Take 980C from the given data and substitute in equation (2)
K=273.15+980C
K=371.15
The equivalent kelvin scale of 900C and 980C are
900C = 363.15
980C = 371.15
Note: Students while answering this question we may get confused with the conversion so you have to be careful and also a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1801 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point. The k which we use to represent temperature in kelvin is a Boltzmann constant.
