A temperature scale that never quite caught on was formulated by the Austrian chemist Johann Sebastian Farblunget. The reference points on this scale were 0?FB, the temperature below which Farblunget%u2019s postnasal drip began to bother him, and 1000oFB, the boiling point of beer. Conversions between? C and ? FB can be accomplished with the expression T(?C) = 0.0940T(?FB) + 4.00 Louis. Farblunget%u2019s French nephew, attempted to follow in his uncle%u2019s footsteps by formulating his own temperature scale. He defined the degree Louie using as reference conditions the optimum serving temperature of marinated snails (100?L corresponding to 15?C) and the temperature at which the elastic in his briefs began to relax (1000?L corresponding to 43?C).

(a) At what temperature in ?F does beer boil?

(b) What is the temperature interval of 10.0 Farblunget degrees equivalent to in ?C, K, ?F, and ?R?

(c) Derive equation for T(?C) in terms of T(?L) (see Example 3.5-1) and T (?L) in terms of T(?FB).

(d) What is the boiling point of ethane at 1 atm (Table B.1) in ?F, K, ?R, ?FB, and ?L?

(e) What is a temperature interval of 50.0 Louie degrees equivalent to in Celsius degrees, Kelvin degrees, Fahrenheit degrees, Rankine degrees, and Farblunget degrees?
