K, so this question is on my upcoming chemistry quiz, but i can't figure it out.
Any ideas? Here it is;
"Suppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of ethanol (-117.3*C) and the boiling point of ethanol (78.3*C) are taken as 0*S and 100*S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 25*C?"
Thanks!
