Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘C, which corresponds to 32∘F, and that it boils at 100∘C, which corresponds to 212∘F, calculate the temperature difference ΔT in degrees Fahrenheit that corresponds to a temperature difference of 1 K on the Kelvin scale. Give your answer to two significant figures.

Answer:

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K
