A demented scientist creates a new temperature scale, the "Z scale." He decides to call the boiling point of nitrogen 0 Z and the melting point of steel 1000 Z.
What is the boiling point of water on the Z scale?
Convert 200 Z to the Celsius scale.
Convert 200Z to the Kelvin scale.
Attempt solution
Boiling point of nitrogen -190 C
Melting point of Steel 1540 C
1540- (-190) = 1728 C
1728 C = 1000 Z
1.728 C = 1 Z
1 C = 0.5787 Z
Boiling point of water 100C = 57.9 Z
200Z = 345.6 C
200Z = 618.75 K
