What is 78 f degrees in celsius?

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius use the following formula:

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

therefore 78 F degrees

°C = (78 - 32) × 5/9 = 25.56

What is -129 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?

Exactly (minus) -129°F is equal to -89.44°C

The conversion formula is °C = 5/9 (°F - 32)

What are the freezing and boiling points of water on the celsius scale?

32 and 212 for F

0 and 100 for C
Water freezes at O Celsius and boils at 100 Celsius.

At what temperature does steel bend?

The temperature at which steel starts to bend, known as the bending temperature, depends on the type of steel. Generally, steel begins to soften and lose its strength at temperatures above 400°C (750°F) and can start to bend under the application of force at even higher temperatures.

Is kelvin equal to Celsius degree in magnitude?

No, a change of one degree Celsius is equal in magnitude to a change of one Kelvin. However, the Kelvin scale begins at absolute zero (0 K), which is -273.15 degrees Celsius. This means that a temperature in Kelvins will always be higher than the equivalent temperature in Celsius degrees.

How can you tell whether a temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees celsius?

Behind the value there could be °F for degrees Fahrenheit or °C for degrees Celsius. When it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A hot temperature of 40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why does cold air make hot air move in physics?

Actually, both cold air & hot air move.

Imagine 3 laser beams are focused to converge on a single point in a typical room with normal air temperature. When the lasers are switched on, the beams converge and energize the air molecules that are in the convergence zone. As the photons in the light collide with the air molecules, the air molecules absorb energy, vibrate/oscillate, & collide with other nearby air molecules very rapidly. This highly kinetic energy state is what we call heat (i.e. energy in the form of heat).

Because the heated molecules are colliding with other molecules, the distance between the heated molecules increases. This results in a lower density region (where heated air molecules are) within a higher density zone (where the cooler air molecules are).

Gravity pulls on each of the molecules equally, however the denser cooler air is pulled downward to displace the warmer less dense air.

To visualize this easier, imagine a drop of oil is injected into the center of a cup of water and the oil is less dense than the water. Eventually, gravity will pull the more dense water molecules below the oil molecules. As the more dense water displaces the less dense oil, the displaced oil moves upwards to the surface.

Original Poster's Answer:

--------------------------

Technically it is the hot air that makes the cold air move however that is the wrong terminology. Hot air rises in fluids due to convection currents. When air is heated it expands (as particles gain more kinetic energy) and therefore becomes less dense. It will then rise forcing the more dense air down. The more dense air then gets heated and becomes less dense and rises...thus the cycle continues. A real life scenario of this is why it is hotter in a sauna the higher up you sit.

How do you convert 1772 degrees celsius to Fahrenheit?

1772 °C is equal to 3221.6 °F

The conversion formula is Fahrenheit temperature = (9/5 x Celsius temperature)+ 32

What is 18 degrees Celsius in centigrade?

Because degrees Celsius means the same as degrees centigrade, the answer is 18 degrees.

Better use the correct word "degrees Celsius."

What temp will a tin can melt?

the melting point of tin (the element) is 21.23 º C

Important to note that most "tin" cans are not tin. They are low carbon steel with a very thin, if any, tin plating. I'm not sure where the original answer got the melting point of tin. The actual melting point of tin is 231.93 °C or 449.47 °F. If the can is steel then it will take a much, much higher temperature to melt.

What is 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit in celsius?

°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9 for 60 degrees fahrenheit oC = (60-32) x 5/9 = 28 x 5/9 = 15.5555 and for 70 degrees fahrenheit = (70 - 32) x 5/9 = 38 x 5/9 = 21.1111 degrees Celsius Final Answer :60-70 oF = 15.6 - 21.1 oC

What is 99 Fahrenheit 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) × 5/9
In this case, the answer is about 37.389 degrees Celsius.

What is the temperature year-round in Carlsbad Cavern caves?

The temperature in Carlsbad Caverns caves remains relatively constant year-round at around 56°F (13°C). The caves maintain this consistent temperature due to their depth and insulation from external weather conditions.

Convert 3.3 degrees celsius in fahrenheit?

3.3 degrees celsius is 37.94 degrees fahrenheit.

How many moles of ethanol in vapor at 70 degrees Fahrenheit?

To calculate the number of moles of ethanol in vapor at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, you would need to know the volume of the vapor and the pressure it is under. Using the ideal gas law equation (PV = nRT), where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin, you can solve for n.

How does temperature change during boiling?

The process that occurs during boiling of liquid is energizing of water molecules (H2O) to give them excessive energy for excitement to change their form to gas from liquid. This energy can be provided by heating and electric current.

In the liquid state, atoms and molecules are bound together by strong intermolecular forces as compared to gases.While boiling a liquid we provide heat to the molecules whereby their kinetic energy is enhanced and they now have enough energy to overcome the cohesive forces and escape from the liquid surface hence changing into gas.This process is called evaporation.

What is 16 degrees centigrade equal to in degrees Fahrenheit?

Start by taking the number in Celsius and multiply it by 9. Then divide that number by 5, and then add 32. This is how you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32
In this case, the answer is about 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

How do you do an experiment to show how salt affects the freezing point of water?

Salt Water takes longer to freeze than plain water I recently did an experiment for my 8th grade science class, on this subject. I took 1/4 of a cup of salt water, poured it into a cup of water and mixed it up. Measured a cup of water, and poured that into a cup. I put them both in the freezer after a half hour of sitting, so they could become room temperature. I then checked every 2 hours. They both hadn't changed much. After 4 hours, the salt water was all mushy, and so was the tap water. The tap water was more solid than the salt water though. After hours, they both were much more solid. The tap water was completely frozen at this time, but the salt wasn't there all the way.. yet. When I checked the salt water at 8 hours though, the salt water was completely frozen. The salt water has a constant drip on top though, I even left it in there for an extra day, I forgot to take it out - and the drip was still on top! To sum it up, the salt water takes 2 more hours than the tap water to freeze. If you have any questions or comments, message me @ meglovesyouxo@yahoo.com Thanks!

What does 30 degrees Celsius equal in Fahrenheit?

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit you must multiply by 1.8 and then add 32. So for 30C, multiply by 1.8 which gives 54 and then add 32 which makes 86F Alternatively use the online converter here:

What is the boiling point of MG?

The boiling point of Magnesium (Mg): 1363 K, 1091 oC, 1994 oF

Is Celsius hot or cold?

As a measure of temperature, Celsius is both hot and cold.
Celsius is neither cold nor hot, it is a scale used in the measurement of temperature and runs from the coldest to the hottest temperatures.

Can you get burned at 50 degrees C?

it will be a higher temperature then your body but would not think it will burn if you have it on you for a short time
