(a) Normal body temperature.The average normal body temperature measured in the mouthis 310 K. What would Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers read forthis temperature? (b) Elevated body temperature. During very vigorousexercise, the body’s temperature can go as high as 40°C. Whatwould Kelvin and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature?(c) Temperature difference in the body. The surface temperature ofthe body is normally about 7 C°lower than the internal temperature.Express this temperature difference in kelvins and in Fahrenheit degrees.(d) Blood storage. Blood stored at 4.0°C lasts safely for about 3 weeks,whereas blood stored at -160 C lasts for 5 years. Express both temperatureson the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales. (e) Heat stroke. If the body’stemperature is above 105°F for a prolonged period, heat stroke can result.Express this temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales.
A new temperature scale is designed with freezing of water at 50 X and boiling at atmospheric pressure occurring at 300 X. Derive a conversion between degrees Celsius and degrees X and convert the following reading:
(d) What is absolute zero in X? (round off answer to 1 decimal place)
Some amount of heat energy is removed from a 10cm X 20cm X 43cm block of ice to cool from 0°C to -38°C. (Hint: to find mass, use the relation between, density, mass and volume)
Calculate the following:
a) The mas of ice cube in grams
(density of ice = 920 kg/m³).
b) The temperature difference in kelvin
C) The energy removed from ice in calories . (specific heat of ice = 2093 J/kg°C)
