Question: A tungsten light bulb filament may operate at 2900 K. What is its Fahrenheit temperature? What is this on the Celsius scale?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

We get the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit is and in Celcius is 2600℃.

Step by step solution

01

Relation between Kelvin and Fahrenheit scale

We can find Fahrenheit temperature from Kelvin temperature by the given equation,

T(F)=95[TK-273.15]+32T(F)=95[TK-273.15]+32

02

Relation between Kelvin and Fahrenheit scale

The temperature in Kelvin is given,

T(K)=2900K

Adding this to the equation,

T(°F)=95(2900-273.15)+32T(°F)=95×2626.85+32T(°F)=4728.33+32T(°F)=4760.33

So. is the Fahrenheit temperature equal to the Kelvin scale temperature of 2900 K

03

Relation between Kelvin and Celcius scale

Kelvin scale related to Celcius scale temperature through the equation,

T(°C)=T(K)-273.15T(°C)=2900-273.15T(°C)=2626.85

So, the temperature on the Celcius scale is, or approximately equal to 26000C

A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 50.0 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40 x 107 N/m2 and a temperature of 25.0°C. Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? (b) What is the final pressure if one-tenth of the gas escapes? (c) To what temperature must the tank be cooled to reduce the pressure to 1.0 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)? (d) Does cooling the tank appear to be a practical solution?

A bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00 x 105 N/m2 at a temperature of 18.0°C and contains 2.00L of gas. What will its pressure be if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 100 cm3 at atmospheric pressure? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.
