Question

On planet X, the alien residents use a temperature scale in which they define 0 degrees X to be the melting point of nitrogen and 100 degrees X to be the boiling point of nitrogen.

  In the same way that we related the Fahrenheit and Celcius scales, derive an expression that relates the temperature in degrees X to the temperature in degrees C.

1.) What temperature difference in X degrees does a temperature change of 1 C degree correspond to?

2.) What temperature in degrees X does water freeze?

3.) What tempeture in degrees X does absolute zero correspond to?

Explanation / Answer

MP of nitrogen= -210 and BP=-195.8

therfore conversion of x temp to celsius=

T= 0.142*C-210

1. change in T= 0.142

2. T=-210

3. T=-443.67
