Explanation / Answer

we know that

boiling point of nitrogen = -195.8 0C

and the melting point of iron is = 1538 0C

given that -195.8 0C = 0 Z
and        1538 0C = 1000 Z

   so 1 Z = 1538*1/1000 = 1.538 0C and 1 0C = 1/1.538 Z = 0.6501951 Z

we know that the boiling point of water is = 100 0C = 100

a)
now 100 0C = 100*0.6501951 = 65.01951 Z

b)

   200 Z = ? 0C

   200 *1.538 = 307.6 0C

c)

   200 Z = ? k

   200 z = 307.6 0C and

1 0C = 273.15 k ==> 307.6 0c = 307.6+273.15 k = 580.75 k

so 200 Z = 580.75 k
