The triple points of neon and carbon dioxide are 24.57 K and 216.55 K

1.	The triple points of neon and carbon dioxide are 24.57 K and 216.55 K respectively. Express these temperatures on the Celcius and Fahrenheit scales.
Answer» T_c = T – 273.15 ∴ T_c for neon = 24.57 – 273.15 = – 248.58°C and T_c for carbon dioxide = 216.55 – 273.15 = – 56.60°C t_F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)t_c + 32 ∴ t_F for neon = \(\frac{9}{5}\) × (-248.58) + 32 = – 415.44°C t_F for carbon dioxide = \(\frac{9}{5}\) × (-56.60) + 32 = – 69.88°F.

Answer»

T_c = T – 273.15

∴ T_c for neon = 24.57 – 273.15

= – 248.58°C

and T_c for carbon dioxide

= 216.55 – 273.15

= – 56.60°C

t_F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)t_c + 32

∴ t_F for neon = \(\frac{9}{5}\) × (-248.58) + 32

= – 415.44°C

t_F for carbon dioxide

= \(\frac{9}{5}\) × (-56.60) + 32

= – 69.88°F.
