How much of Fahrenheit is equivalent to -15 degrees c?
-15 degrees Celsius is equal to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sketch a phase diagram for water and label the melting point and boiling point at 101.3kPa?
At 101.3 kPa, the melting point of water is 0°C (273 K) and the boiling point is 100°C (373 K). The phase diagram would show a solid-liquid boundary at 0°C and a liquid-gas boundary at 100°C, with a triple point where all three phases coexist at 0.01°C and 611.657 Pa.
How hot is it in and under the sea?
Whether in a freshwater lake or river, or in saltwater, such as the ocean, temperatures vary just like they do in the air, but for different reasons. In the summer, the surface of the water can be heated quickly by the sun and the air, but the water will be cooler as you go deeper into the water. This can often be felt as a "thermocline" as major temperature differences can exist very close together. As you go deeper underwater, the temperatures will remain much more constant and unchanging as compared to the water near the surface.
Convert this temperature 50 degrees celsius to degrees Fahrenheit?
50 degrees Celsius converts to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
A rough calculation... multiply the degrees Celsius by 2, then add 30 (giving the answer 130oF)
An accurate answer... multiply the degrees Celsius by 1.8, then add 32 (giving the answer 122oF)
What is the boiling point of 30w oil?
The boiling point of 30w oil can vary depending on the specific composition of the oil. Generally, the boiling point of motor oils, including 30w oil, can range between 400-600 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the hottest temperature ever recorded in Cleveland Ohio?
On 25 June 1988 a record high of 104 degrees F was established.
Negative forty Fahrenheit equal what Celsius?
Negative forty Fahrenheit is equal to negative forty degrees Celsius.
Is 100 degrees Celsius a water's boiling point?
No. The freezing point is 0.00 degrees Celsius. The Celsius scale's 100 degrees equals the boiling point of water at sea level. The Celsius scale has been replaced by the centigrade scale, but it is still common to say Celsius.
How do you change 100 degrees F to C?
Zero in Kelvin is equal to 273 degrees C; 100 in Kelvin is equal to 173 degrees C.
Can you do the math?
Convert -25 celsius to the kelvin scale?
The answer is 248.15 K (approx.). The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero and is used in scientific laboratories. Celsius is for general use and set 0 and 100 as melting and boiling point of water respectively. To convert from C to K, add 273.15 to C.
What is the conversion of 20 degrees celsius in Fahrenheit?
The conversion formula is: F = (C x 1.8) + 32
- F = (20 x 1.8) + 32
- F = 36 + 32
- Fahrenheit = 68°
To calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of Lake Erie by 1 degree Celsius, you would need to know the specific heat capacity of water, which is 4.186 J/g°C. Given that the volume of Lake Erie is 484 km^3, you would need to convert this volume into grams and then use the formula: energy = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change.
How many degrees is Celsius away from Fahrenheit?
The "degrees" (although being called by the same name) are of different size, and the zero points are different on each scale.
1 degree Celsius equals a change of 9/5 = 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit and
1 degree Fahrenheit equals a change of 5/9 = 0.555555555 degrees Celsius.
The Celsius scale is based on the temperatures at which water freezes and boils, which are defined as 0°C and 100°C.
The Fahrenheit scale can be defined by those same temperatures, but with the values of 32°F = 0°C and 212°F = 100°C.

What happens when an iron ball of 40 degrees Celsius is put in water of 40 degrees Celsius?
Temperature will not change since thermodynamic equilibrium will be attained irrespective of the mass of the iron and conduction which is flow of heat from hotter to colder medium can't take place since the temp of both are same...
Combustible liquids with a flash point at or above 200 degrees Fahrenheit would be classified as Class III liquids under the United States Department of Transportation's hazardous materials regulations. These liquids are considered to have a moderate fire hazard.
Boiling point of water is 100 degree celsius but why it boils at 130?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at sea level. If water is boiling at 130 degrees Celsius, it might be due to the presence of impurities or changes in atmospheric pressure, which can affect the boiling point of water.
How many degrees F is 13 degrees C?
13 degrees Celsius = 55.4 degrees Fahrenheit
Formula: [°F] = [°C] × 1.8 + 32
0degrees celsius is how many degrees Fahrenheit?
32-degrees Fahrenheit. 0-Celsius is the freezing point of water, as is 32-degrees Fahrenheit
The scale that water boils at 100 degree and freezes at 0 degree?
This is the Celsius scale, commonly used in the metric system for measuring temperature.
What physical property is being used when using a clinical thermometer to measure temperature?
Expansion of a fluid, usually mercury but alcohol (usually red colored) is used.
Expansion of a metal (solid) in a bimetallic strip
Change in electrical resistance - used in sensors
Thermoelectric effect - ( thermocouples)
Quartz crystal oscillator (Quartz crystal frequency varies slightly with temperature)
Thermochromic liquid crystal - (in the strips that show different colors)
