Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explanation :

The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is

C = (F-32) \times \frac{5}{9}

At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.

For example, 50 F is 10°C.

(50 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 10 C

This is almost 1/5 of Fahrenheit temperature.

But at higher temperatures , the value becomes insignificant and also the ratio  5/9 tend to be equal to 0.5.

For example, 2000 F is 1093°C

(2000 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 1093 C

This is almost half of Fahrenheit temperature.

Therefore , the approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Calculate the number of moles CuCl2 necessary to make 50 mL of a 0.15M solution
tekilochka [14]
 Volume  ⇒ 50 mL in liters : 50 / 1000 = 0.05 L

Molarity of solution ⇒ 0.15 M

Number of moles:

n =  M * V

n = 0.15 * 0.05

n = 0.0075 moles of CuCl2

hope this helps!.
