Answer to Question #126698 in General Chemistry for julissa mendoza

Question

50 deg. C correspond to how many deg. F

Answer 1

Temperature value can be expressed by three measurement units which include, degree Celsius($^0C$ ), Kelvin(K) and degree Fahrenheit($^0F$ ).A Fahrenheit temperature scale indicates that the melting point of water is 32 degrees and its boiling point 212 degrees. Conversions between Celsius and Fahrenheit are evaluated independently since they are not directly proportional.

The following formula is used to convert ($^0C$ ) to ($^0F$ )

$^0F=\ ^0C\ \ *\dfrac{9}{5}\ \ +32$

$= \ 50\ \ *\ \dfrac{9}{5}\ \ +32$

$=122^0\ F$
