The boiling point and the melting point for water on the Fahrenheit scale were chosen so the difference between the two temperatures would be 180 F°, a number that is evenly divisible by2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. Devise a new temperature scale S so that absolute zero is 0°S and Tbp,water- Tmp,water = 180 S°. (a) What is the conversion formula from Celsius to S? (b) What are Tbp,water and Tbp,waterin S?
