Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘C, which corresponds to 32∘F, and that it boils at 100∘C, which corresponds to 212∘F, calculate the temperature difference ΔT in degrees Fahrenheit that corresponds to a temperature difference of 1 K on the Kelvin scale. Give your answer to two significant figures.

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
