The C51 units are not based on water, but rather dichloromethane, CH2Cl2, which melts at -97C and boils at 40C. You have decided that on your scale, the freezing point of dichloromethane is +1000 C51 and the boiling point is -1000 C51. Determine the relationship to convert C into C51 and C51 into C.\r<BR>\n" );
