Answer to Question #134157 in General Chemistry for Somnath Chakraborty

Question

A measured temperature on Fahrenheit scale is 200°F. What will this reading be on Celsius scale?

Answer 1

Using the formula

$F= \frac{9}{5}C+ 32$

Substituting $F= 200$ in the above equation, $200= \frac{9}{5}C+ 32$

$\implies 200-32=\frac{9}{5}C$

$\implies C= \frac{5}{9}\times 168=93.33$

So $200°F$ is equivalent to $93.33°C$
