Activity #6

Temperature Conversions

0 degrees F = 255.372222222222 Kelvin
32 degrees F= 273.15 Kelvin
70 degrees F= 294.26111111 Kelvin
212 degrees F= 373.15 Kelvin



Here is a diagram that puts all of the different temperature systems into context, and below is the conversion table:

From	to Fahrenheit	to Celsius	to Kelvin
ºF	F	(ºF - 32)/1.8	(ºF-32)*5/9+273.15
ºC	(ºC * 1.8) + 32	C	ºC + 273.15
K	(K-273.15)*9/5+32	K - 273.15	K

Below is the results from my worksheet. (4 Pictures)

NOTE: I DO NOT KNOW WHY I CAN NOT ROTATE THE PICTURES SO THEY ARE RIGHTSIDE UP.

When doing this lab I chose the water molecule and cooled the water to 0 degrees Kelvin. The water molecules were very close to each other and moved very slowly. When I switched the taps I realized that would be at or below 155 K and the lower the pressure the lower the temperature needs to be to make Oxygen turn into a liquid.

In this activity, I used software and other technologies to present my data, and I now understand that substances can exist in different states of matter.
