Assume you were dissatisfied with both Fahrenheit and Celsius units and wanted to design your own temperature scale based on the ethyl alcohol. Ethanol has a melting point of -117.3 Celsius on the Celsius scale and the boiling point of 78.5 Celsius, but on your new scale calibrated in units degrees ethanol, E, you define ethanol to and melt at 0 E and boil at300 E.
Question:
a. Determine why the ethanol degrees compare in size with Celsius degrees?
b. Determine why an ethanol degrees compare in size with Fahrenheit degrees?
c. Calculate the melting and boiling points of water on the ethanol scale?
d. Calculate the normal human body temperature on the ethanol scale?
