On a nice winter day at the South Pole, the temperature rises to
−33°F.
What is the approximate temperature in degrees Celsius? °C
You will be defining a new temperature scale in 0X, in which the freezing and boiling points of water are one-hundred forty degrees X and one-thousand eighty-five 0X, respectively. Correlate this to Celsius or Fahrenheit scales. The 0X reading on this scale is a certain number of degrees on a corresponding absolute temperature scale. What is the corresponding absolute temperature at 00X?
Question:
Mars is about half the size of Earth by diameter and has a much thinner atmosphere, with an average
surface pressure of 610 Pa which is less than 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure. The temperature
ranges from -70 °C to near 0°C during the day.
A 650 L gas collected from Mars's atmosphere at -40 °C and 610 Pa is brought to Earth. This gas sample will
occupy how many liters on a city with 10 °C temperature and 640 mmHg pressure?
