11.1 The triple points of neon and carbon dioxide are 24.57 K and 216.55 K respectively. Express these temperatures on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
The relation between Kelvin and Celsius's scales is given by:
TC= TK– 273.15 ….(i)
The relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit's scales is given by:
TF=95TC+32....(ii)
For neon: TK= 24.57 K
TC = 24.57 – 273.15 = –248.58°C
TF=95TC+32
=95(-248)+32=415.44°F
For carbon dioxide:
TK= 216.55 K
∴ TC= 216.55 – 273.15 = –56.60°C
TF=95TC+32=95(-56.60)+32=-69.88°C
