The Fahrenheit scale is considered to be the LEAST useful temperature scale for scientific purposes because:
A)it is too difficult to convert Fahrenheit data into the Celsius scale.
B)the original fixed points for the scale were arbitrarily (and poorly)chosen,giving 0°F no real meaning.
C)the modern Fahrenheit scale does not properly identify the steam point of water.
D)the Celsius scale was created first,and so has a longer tradition with the scientific community.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fahrenheit scale was originally based on arbitrary fixed points, with 0°F being defined as the temperature of a mixture of ice, water, and salt. This means that the 0°F point has no real physical meaning. In contrast, the Celsius and Kelvin scales have fixed points based on the properties of water, making them more useful and meaningful for scientific purposes.
