Question

a mercury in glass thermometer reads -20° at the ice point and 100°at the steam point. calculate the Celsius temperature corresponding to 70°on the thermometer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

120 deg Unknown = 100 deg Celsius since we know that the ice point is at

0 deg Celsius and the steam point is 100 deg Celsius

So you have 1.2 deg U / 1 deg C

70 deg U / (1.2 deg U / 1 deg c) = 58.3 deg C    (temperature in deg Celsius)

Or 58.3deg C * 1.2 deg U / 1 deg C = 70 deg U
