Question

What would happen if a researcher failed to realize a thermometer he or she was using has a Celsius and Fahrenheit scale?

Answer 1

Answer:

To obtain a more accurate read on temperature, the researcher should make sure to measure temperature by Celsius degrees rather than Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of heat intensity. In food science experiments, you should always require an exact description of heat intensity. The most commonly used unit of temperature in the laboratory is the Celsius degree because the Celsius temperature scale is based on the boiling and freezing points of pure water. The difference between the points of boiling and freezing temperatures (at 1 atmosphere of air pressure) is divided into 100 equal units, making a Celsius degree 0.01 of the difference between the boiling and freezing points of water, making it the most accurate method of exact temperature reading. It is important to use the Celsius scale if you have a thermometer that reads Celsius and Fahrenheit.
