Mercury has a melting point of - 38. 9°C. what would this read in degrees Fahrenheit the and kelvin
for Kelvin add 273
for F
F = (212-32)C/100 + 32
= (9/5)C + 32
To convert the melting point of mercury from degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit and Kelvin, you can use the following conversion formulas:
1. Converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
2. Converting from Celsius to Kelvin:
K = °C + 273.15
Let's calculate the values using these formulas:
1. Converting to Fahrenheit:
°F = (-38.9 × 9/5) + 32
°F = (-70.02) + 32
°F ≈ -38.02
So, the melting point of mercury in degrees Fahrenheit is approximately -38.02°F.
2. Converting to Kelvin:
K = -38.9 + 273.15
K = 234.25
Therefore, the melting point of mercury in Kelvin is 234.25 K.
