Question

Concept Questions #2: The drawing shows two thermometers, A and B, whose temperatures are measured in °A and °B. The ice and boiling points of water are also indicated. (a) Is the size of one degree on the A scale larger than, the same as, or smaller than on the B scale? Why? (b) Is a given temperature on the A scale (e.g., +20 °A) hotter than, the same as, or colder than the same reading on the B scale (e.g., +20 °B)? Provide a reason for your answer.


Problem #2: (a) Using the data in the drawing, determine the number of B° on the B scale that correspond to 1 A° on the A scale. (b) If the temperature of a substance reads +40.0 °A on the A scale, what would that temperature read on the B scale?

Explanation / Answer

Concept Questions #2

(a) larger; because scale of the A is small i.e. within one unit more degrees are covered.
(b) hotter;  because scale of the A is small i.e. within one unit more degrees are covered.
