Room temperature is commonly regarded as 68.0 °f. gallium has a melting point of 29.8 °c. what is the difference between the melting point and the temperature of the surroundings (68 °f)?

Respuesta :

The difference in the temperatures between the room temperature and the melting point of Gallium is 9.8°C.

Express the room temperature of 68°F in °C.

[tex] C=\frac{5}{9}  (F-32)\\   =\frac{5}{9} (68-32)\\  = 20^o C [/tex]

Find the difference between the melting point of Gallium and the room temperature.

[tex] \Delta T = (29.8^oC - 20^oC)\\  =9.8 ^oC [/tex]

The difference between the room temperature and the melting point of Gallium is 9.8 °C.
