Q. Oxygen boils at $( - 183℃).$ The temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is
A) $- 297.4℉$
B) $- 253.6℉$
C) $- 342.6℉$
D) $- 225.3℉$
Explanation
(a) Using $\frac{C}{5} = \ \frac{F - 32}{9}$
$- \frac{183}{5} = \frac{F - 32}{9}$
$F - 32 = \ - \frac{183 \times 9}{5} = - 329.4$
$F = - 329.4 + 32 = - 297.4{^\circ}$
