Question

Suppose there exists another temperature scale besides Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine. This one, let’s call it the “New” Scale, is an absolute scale like Kelvin and Rankine. Thermometers simultaneously record 100 in Celsius and 1234 absolute in the Lehigh Scale at a certain single, fixed equilibrium state—an aqueous solution of 3 molal KCl, 0.001 molal in SO2, at a pH of 5 and saturated with cadmium sulfide (CdS) at atmospheric pressure and a molality of cadmium of exactly 10-5. Find the temperature of freezing water on the New Scale.
