question
the freezing point of methanol is - 97.6°c. what is the freezing point of methanol in °f?
round to one decimal place.
provide your answer below:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall 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 \(C=-97.6\), substitute into the formula: \(F=\frac{9}{5}\times(-97.6)+32\).
First, calculate \(\frac{9}{5}\times(-97.6)=9\times(-19.52)= - 175.68\).
Then, \(F=-175.68 + 32\).

Step3: Calculate the result

\(F=-143.68\approx - 143.7\) (rounded to one decimal place).

Answer:

\(-143.7^{\circ}F\)
