using the information in the following table, calculate the boiling point of acetic acid in
table 4.1 | physical properties of chlorine, water, sugar, and acetic acid
substance color odor taste physical state melting point (°c) boiling point (°c)
chlorine yellowish - green sharp, suffocating sharp, sour gas (20°c) - 101.6 - 34.6
water colorless odorless tasteless liquid 0.0 100.0
sugar white odorless sweet solid — decomposes 170 - 186
acetic acid colorless like vinegar sour liquid 16.7 118.0
(a) kelvins
k
(b) degrees fahrenheit
°f

Explanation:

Step1: Convert to Kelvin

The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is $K = ^{\circ}C+ 273.15$. The boiling - point of acetic acid in Celsius is $118.0^{\circ}C$. So, $K=118.0 + 273.15$.
$K = 391.15$

Step2: Convert to Fahrenheit

The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is $^{\circ}F=\frac{9}{5}\times^{\circ}C + 32$. Substitute $^{\circ}C = 118.0$ into the formula.
$^{\circ}F=\frac{9}{5}\times118.0+32$
$^{\circ}F = 9\times23.6+32$
$^{\circ}F = 212.4+32$
$^{\circ}F = 244.4$

Answer:

(a) 391.15 K
(b) 244.4 °F
