Question

The boiling temperature of gold is 4892. °F.
Calculate the boiling temperature of gold in Celsius. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.

Answer 1

To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we can use the formula:
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9

Substitute the boiling temperature of gold into the formula:

Celsius = (4892 - 32) * 5/9
Celsius = 4859 * 5/9
Celsius = 2705

Therefore, the boiling temperature of gold in Celsius is 2705°C. The answer has four significant figures.
