Many common liquids have boiling points that are less than 110°C, whereas most metals are solids at room temperature and have much higher boiling points. The boiling point of iodomethane, , is 42.4°C. What is the equivalent absolute temperature?

Temperature =
K

The boiling point of bismuth is 1833 K. What is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale?

Temperature =
°C

1. 315.4 K

2. 1560 °C

Explanation:

To convert from celsius to Kelvin, the following formula can be used:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Where:

T(K) => Temperature in Kelvin

T(°C) => Temperature in degree celsius

1. Determination of the temperature in Kelvin.

Temperature (T) in °C = 42.4 °C.

Temperature (T) in K =?

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(K) = 42.4 °C + 273

T(K) = 315.4 K

2. Determination of the temperature in degree Celsius.

Temperature (T) in K = 1833 K

Temperature (T) in °C =?

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

1833 = T(°C) + 273

Collect like terms

T(°C) = 1833 – 273

T(°C) = 1560 °C

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
