Question

Convert the boiling temperature of gold, 2966 °C, into degrees Fahrenheit and kelvin.

 

Answer 1

The boiling temperature of Gold is very high, indicating that the intermolecular forces of attraction between the Gold molecules are pretty high and strong.

Temperature can be evaluated on Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and degrees Celsius scales.

They follow the relationship as:

 

$$ \begin{aligned} \text { Fahrenheit } &=\frac{9}{5}\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)+32 \\ &=\frac{9}{5} \times(2966)+32 \\ &=5370.8{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \end{aligned} $$

Degree Celsius into Kelvin temperature is converted as:

$$ \begin{aligned} K &={ }^{\circ} C+273.15 \\ &=2966+273.15 \\ &=3239.15 K \end{aligned} $$

The boiling temperature of 2966° C equals 5370.8° F and 3239.15 Kelvin.
