Fahrenheit scale, on the other hand, named after Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), was devised such that a temperature value lower than the water freezing point sets zero of the scale. To mark the lowest reference point of 0°F, the temperature of an equilibrated mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride was used. The second reference point, 32°F, corresponds to water freezing. An additional point, taken as 96°F, was chosen as the body temperature of a healthy human...
