(a) Calculate the one temperature at which Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would display the same number, (b) do the same for a Fahrenheit and kelvin thermometer. Hint: We can start by stating Tf=Tc=T, and then we know TF = 9/5 TC + 32°, but we can just refer to both Tf and Tc as T (because we’ve stated they are equal) and then solve for T

One process for decaffeinating coffee uses carbon dioxide ( M=44.0 g/mol) at a molar density of about 14,0 mol/m3 and a temperature of about 60 . (a) Is CO2 a solid, liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid under those conditions? (b) The van der Waals constants for carbon dioxide are a=0.3658 Pa m6/mol2 and b=4.286105 m3/mol. Using the van der Waals equation, estimate pressure of CO2 at that temperature and density. `
At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
The next four questions use this description. Our Sun has a peak emission wavelength of about 500 nm and a radius of about 700,000 km. Your dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of about 7 mm and can detect light intensity down to about 1.5 x 10-11 W/m². Assume the emissivity of the Sun is equal to 1. First, given these numbers, what is the surface temperature of the Sun in Kelvin to 3 significant digits? 5,796
Estimate how long (in seconds) it should take to bring a cup of water to boiling temperature in a typical 700-watt microwave oven, assuming that all the energy ends up in the water. Something to think about: why is no heat involved in this process? The heat capacity of water is 75.29J/K/mol. A cup of water is about 250mL. Assume the water is at 25°C to start with (typical room temperature). Relative tolerance +/- 2% S
The gauge pressure in your car tires is 2.5×105 N/m² at a temperature of 35°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska. What is their gauge pressure later, when their temperature has dropped to -40.0°C? HINT: Remember to convert temperatures to Kelvin first, and gauge pressure to absolute pressure (just add 1 atm = 1x10^5 N/m2). After that you can use the ideal gas law, but the result will be as an absolute pressure, so subtract back 1 atm before entering the result as a gauge pressure. Give your answer in units of [atm = 10^5 N/m2]

Suppose you come across old scientific notes that describe a temperature scale called Z on which the boiling point of water is 135°Z. The freezing point is at 3°Z. To what temperature on the Celsius scale would a temperature of -45°Z correspond? Assume that the Z scale is linear (a Z degree is the same everywhere on the Z scale)
