The change in temperature in Kelvin and Celsius is the same, as
it should be.
QUESTION Which represents the larger temperature
change, a Celsius degree or a Fahrenheit degree?
It's subjective and depends on the observer's judgment.One degree is the same on either scale. It depends on the initial temperature.FahrenheitCelsius
PRACTICE IT
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. The temperature gradient between the skin and the air is regulated by cutaneous (skin) blood flow. If the cutaneous blood vessels are constricted, the skin temperature and the temperature of the environment will be about the same. When the vessels are dilated, more blood is brought to the surface. Suppose that during dilation the skin warms from 70.9°F to 78.9°F.(a) Convert these temperatures to Celsius and find the difference.
lower temperature | °C |
upper temperature | °C |
difference | °C |
(b) Convert the temperatures to Kelvin, again finding the
difference.
lower temperature | K |
upper temperature | K |
difference | K |
EXERCISEHINTS: GETTING STARTED | I'M STUCK!
Core body temperature can rise from 98.6°F to 105°F during extreme exercise, such as a marathon run. Such elevated temperatures can also be caused by viral or bacterial infections or tumors and are dangerous if sustained.(a) Convert the given temperatures to Celsius and find the difference.
lower temperature | °C |
upper temperature | °C |
difference | °C |
(b) Convert the temperatures to Kelvin, again finding the
difference.
lower temperature | K |
upper temperature | K |
difference | K |
