Rankine scale - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia

SOLVED:The Rankine temperature scale used in engineering is to the Fahrenheit scale as the Kelvin scale is to the Celsius scale. That is, 1 Rankine degree is the same size as 1 Fahrenheit degree, and 0^∘ R= absolute zero. (a) What temperature corresponds to the freezing point of water on the Rankine scale? (b) What is the value of the gas constant R on the Rankine scale in (L ·atm) /( ^∘ R ·mol) ? (c) Use the van der Waals equation to determine the pressure inside a 400.0  mL vessel that contain

SOLVED:The Rankine temperature scale (abbreviated ^∘ R ) uses the same size degrees as Fahrenheit, but measured up from absolute zero like kelvin (so Rankine is to Fahrenheit as kelvin is to Celsius). Find the conversion formula between Rankine and Fahrenheit, and also between Rankine and kelvin. What is room temperature on the Rankine scale?
