Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.78SP
Suppose you were dissatisfied with both Celsius and Fahrenheit units and wanted to design your own temperature scale based on ethyl alcohol (ethanol). On the Celsius scale, ethanol has a melt- ing point of — 117.3oC and a boiling point of 78.5oC, but on your new scale calibrated in units of degrees ethanol, oE, you define ethanol to melt at 0oE and boil at 200oE.
(a) How does your ethanol degree compare in size with a Celsius degree?
(b) How does an ethanol degree compare in size with a Fahren- heit degree?
(c) What are the melting and boiling points of water on the etha- nol scale?
(d) What is normal human body temperature (98.6oF) on the ethanol scale?
(e) If the outside thermometer reads 130oE, how would you dress to go out?
