Suppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of some compound (−103.6°C) and the boiling point of the same compound (87.2°C) are taken as 0°S and 100°S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 22.6°C? (Answer should be in °S)

Suppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of some compound (−104.0°C) and the boiling point of the same compound (80.0°C) are taken as 0°S and 100°S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 32.4°C?
A student's thermometer reads 105.2°C when placed in boiling water. The student then used the same thermometer to test the temperature of a solution, and the thermometer read 88.0°C. What value should the student write down as the actual temperature of the solution?
Normal body temperature is 98.4°F. Use your Celsius temperature from the above question (81) to calculate this temperature in Kelvin. To determine the conversion factors (if you can’t remember them), use the following: Freezing point of water = 0 oC = 273.15 K. Boiling point of water = 100 oC = 373.15 K. Use the correct number of significant figures in your answers.
On January 22, 1943, in Spearfish, South Dakota, the temperature rose from −4.00°F to 45.0°F over the course of two minutes (the current world record for the fastest recorded temperature change). By how much did the temperature change on the Celsius scale?
On hot days, you may have noticed that potato chip bags seem to “inflate” even though they have not been opened. If I take a 250. mL bag from inside the gas station, and I leave it in my car which has a temperature of 60.5 °C and it inflates to 285 mL, what was the temperature inside the gas station in °C?

If a temperature scale were based on the freezing point(5.5°C) and boiling point (80.1°C) of benzene and the tempera-ture difference between these points was divided into 50 units(called X), what would be the freezing and boiling points of wa-ter in X?
What volume of water (in mL), initially at 62.9 °C, needs to be mixed with 270 mL of water, initially at 28.2 °C, so that the final temperature of the water is 43.9 °C? Assume that the density of water remains constant over the above temperature range. Enter your answer in decimal notation with three significant figures.
You are traveling to the Netherlands for the month of June and you are trying to determine what clothes to pack. You look up the average daily high temperature and find it is 15°C. Calculate this temperature in °F to help you determine what clothes to pack using the correct equation. Remember to include your units of degrees F in your final answer. TF = 1.8(Tc) + 32 TC=TF−321.8

You want to quickly set up a temporary water bath in your lab with a volume of 10.0 L and a temperature of 37.0°C. You only have hot water from your hot water faucet (temperature = 53.4°C) and cold water from your cold water faucet (temperature = 22.0°C). What volume of hot water (in liters) must you mix with cold water to get 10.0 L of 37.0°C water? Assume the specific heat of the water is 4.184 J/g･K and that the water has a density of 1.00 g/mL.
