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

Write the molecular formula for the compound that exhibits a molecular ion at M+ = 112.0499. Assume that C, H, N, and O might be
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

C₅H₈N₂O

Explanation:

The molecular formula denotes the various forms of atoms contained in a molecule at a particular fixed proportion.

The molecular ion M⁺ = 112.0499

and the exact mass values are given as follows:

C = 12.000

H = 1.0078

N = 14.003

O = 15.995

By assumption:

C = 12.000 × 5 = 60.0000

H = 1.0078 × 8 =    1.0078

N = 14.003 × 2 =  28.0060

<u>O = 15.995 × 1 =   15.9950    </u>

<u>                         = 112.0634     </u>

This is approximtely equal to 112.0499.

As such the Molecular formula for the compound = C₅H₈N₂O
