Use this equation to convert degrees Celsius/Centigrade (ºC) to degrees Fahrenheit (ºF): [°F] = [°C] × 1.8 + 32
180ºC = 356.0ºF
99.68 F
0 degrees Celsius= 32F, which is the freezing point of water
Outside science, Celsius is preferred because it has a handy reference to the freezing point of water. Within science, I suppose Kelvin is preferred because 0 Kelvin is absolute zero.
q = m x C x ΔT q = amount of heat energy gained or lost by substance = 1560 calories m = mass of sample in grams = 312g C = heat capacity (calorie/g oC) =? ΔT = change in temperature = 15 oC Solve for C C = q/mΔT = 1560cal/(312g)(15 oC) = 0.33cal/g oC
