You decide to establish a new temperature scale on which the melting point of ammonia (-77.75 ∘c) is 0∘a, and the boiling point of ammonia (-33.35∘c) is 100 ∘a. part a what would be the boiling point of water in ∘a?

The boiling point of water is

Explanation:

To convert the units of temperature, we use the equation:

where,

X = temperature in

Y = temperature in

LFP = lower fixed point

UFP = upper fixed point

LFP of is 0°A

UFP of is 100°A

LFP of is -77.75°A

UFP of is -33.35°A

Normal boiling point of water =

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the boiling point of water is
