A chemist notes the boiling point of a liquid as 100.0∘C. A collaborator in another country misinterprets this value and heats the same liquid only to 100.0∘F.
a. (a) Convert 100.0∘F to the Celsius scale.
b. (b) Calculate the percentage error introduced in the temperature (expressed in ∘C) because of the misunderstanding.
c. (c) State one reason why the Kelvin scale is preferred over the Celsius or Fahrenheit scales in scientific reporting.
