What is the Celsius temperature when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 98.6?

37 degrees Celsius. Use this formula to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius: [°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5⁄9


What would be the temperature be in Celsius if the thermometer reads 75 degrees?

About 24 degrees Celsius.


What temperature is shown on a centigrade thermometer when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 212?

212°F is equivalent to 100°C. Therefore, a centigrade thermometer would also show 100°C when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 212.


How Will You Calibrate a thermometer in degree Celsius.. ..?

The thermometer was used by the originators of the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.Anders Celsius, a Swedish Astronomer, devised the Celsius scale, which was described in his publication the origin of the Celsius temperature scale in 1742.Celsius used two fixed points in his scale: the temperature of melting ice and the temperature of boiling water. This wasn't a new idea, sinceIsaac Newton was already working on something similar. The distinction of Celsius was to use the melting temperature and not the freezing temperature. The experiments for reaching a good calibration of his thermometer lasted for 2 winters. By performing the same experiment over and over again, he discovered that ice always melted at the same calibration mark on the thermometer. He found a similar fixed point in the calibration of boiling water vapour (when this is done to high precision, a variation will be seen with atmospheric pressure). At the moment that he removed the thermometer from the vapour, the mercury level climbed slightly. This was related to the rapid cooling (and contraction) of the glass.The air pressure influences the boiling point of water. Celsius claimed that the level of the mercury in boiling water is proportional to the height of the barometer.When Celsius decided to use his own temperature scale, he originally defined his scale "upside-down", i.e. he chose to set the boiling point of pure water at 0 °C (212 °F) and the freezing point at 100 °C (32 °F).[1] One year later Frenchman Jean Pierre Cristin proposed to invert the scale with the freezing point at 0 °C (32 °F) and the boiling point at 100 °C (212 °F). He named it Centigrade.[2]Finally, Celsius proposed a method of calibrating a thermometer:Place the cylinder of the thermometer in melting pure water and mark the point where the fluid in the thermometer stabilises. This point is the freeze/thaw point of water.In the same manner mark the point where the fluid stabilises when the thermometer is placed in boiling water vapour.Divide the length between the two marks into 100 equal pieces.These points are adequate for approximate calibration but both vary with atmospheric pressure. Nowadays, the triple point of water is used instead (the triple point occurs at 273.16 kelvins (K), 0.01 °C).


How do you make a thermometer go to zero?

To reset a thermometer to zero, ensure the thermometer is at room temperature (around 68-72°F) and then adjust the calibration screw or button on the thermometer until it reads zero. If the thermometer does not have a calibration feature, it may need to be sent to the manufacturer for recalibration.

The thermometer reads 38 degree Celsius what is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

100 degrees Fahrenheit


If the thermometer reads thirty degrees Celsius what would the thermometer read in Fahrenheit?

The temperature in Fahrenheit would be 86 degrees. You can convert Celsius to Fahrenheit by multiplying the temperature in Celsius by 1.8 and then adding 32. So, 30 degrees Celsius x 1.8 + 32 = 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is temperature measured with?

Temperature is typically measured using a thermometer. Thermometers can use various mechanisms to determine temperature, such as expansion of liquids (like mercury or alcohol), electrical resistance, or infrared sensors.

About 24 degrees Celsius.


When A nurse has to record her temperatures in Celsius but her thermometer reads Fahrenheit A patients temperature is 100.7 What is the temperature in Celsius?

Start by taking the number in Fahrenheit and subtracting 32. Then divide the number by 9, and then multiply it by 5. This is how you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or use the equation C = (F - 32) × 5/9In this case, the answer is about 38.167 degrees Celsius.


If the Thermometer reads 5 degrees Celsius what is the temperature in Fahrenheit?

The temperature in Fahrenheit would be 41 degrees. You can convert Celsius to Fahrenheit by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and adding 32. So in this case, 5°C multiplied by 9/5 plus 32 equals 41°F.


What temperature is shown on a centigrade thermometer when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 212?

212°F is equivalent to 100°C. Therefore, a centigrade thermometer would also show 100°C when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 212.
