Question:
(a) The average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 K. What would Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature?
(b) During very vigorous exercise, the body’s temperature can go as high as 40oC. What would Kelvin and Fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature?
(c) The surface temperature of the body is normally about 7 Co lower than the internal temperature. Express this temperature difference in kelvins and in Fahrenheit degrees.
(d) Blood stored at 4.0oC lasts safely for about 3 weeks, whereas blood stored – 160oC at lasts for 5 years. Express both temperatures on the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales.
(e) If the body’s temperature is above 105oF for a prolonged period, heat stroke can result. Express this temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales.
