Question

1.16 rubbing alcohol boils at 180.5°c. what is the boiling temperature of rubbing alcohol in fahrenheit?

Explanation:

Step1: Use the conversion formula

The formula to convert Celsius ($C$) to Fahrenheit ($F$) is $F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$.

Step2: Substitute the value of $C$

Given $C = 180.5^{\circ}C$, substitute into the formula: $F=\frac{9}{5}\times180.5+32$.
First, calculate $\frac{9}{5}\times180.5=9\times36.1 = 324.9$.
Then, $F=324.9+32$.

Step3: Calculate the final result

$F = 356.9^{\circ}F$.

Answer:

$356.9^{\circ}F$
