Temperatures in Biomedicine. (a) Normal body temperature. The average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 K. What would Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature? (b) Elevated body temperature. During very vigorous exercise, the body’s temperature can go as high as 40OC. What would Kelvin and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature? (c) Temperature difference in the body. The surface temperature of the body is normally about 7CO lower than the internal temperature. Express this temperature difference in kelvins and in Fahrenheit degrees. (d) Blood storage. Blood stored at 4.0OC lasts safely for about 3 weeks, whereas blood stored at -160OC lasts for 5 years. Express both temperatures on the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales. (e) Heat stroke. If the body’s temperature is above 105OF for a prolonged period, heat stroke can result. Express this temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales.
Normal body temperature for humans is 98.6 °F. What is the corresponding temperature in (a) degrees Celsius and (b) kelvins?
On the moon the surface temperature ranges from 359 K during the day to 0.99 ✕ 102 K at night.(a) What are these temperatures on the Celsius scale? °C to  °C(b) What are these temperatures on the Fahrenheit scale? °F to  °F
