Nitrogen boils at -196°C. What is the corresponding temperature in the Fahrenheit scale?
A) -290°F
B) -346°F
C) -315°F
D) -196°F
E) -321°F
To convert -196°C to the Fahrenheit scale, you can use the following conversion formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Substituting -196 for °C, we get:
°F = (-196 × 9/5) + 32
Calculating this, we have:
°F = (-352.8) + 32
°F = -320.8
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the corresponding temperature in the Fahrenheit scale is -321°F.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E) -321°F.
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Let's use this formula to calculate the corresponding temperature of -196°C in the Fahrenheit scale.
°F = (-196 × 9/5) + 32
Simplifying the equation gives:
°F = (-352.8) + 32
°F = -320.8
So, the corresponding temperature of -196°C in the Fahrenheit scale is approximately -320.8°F.
Among the options provided, the closest value to -320.8°F is option E) -321°F.
