That works for races whose solvent is water. For other races you will want to convert the temperature range to kelvin (275 K to 305 K, approximately) and divide (or multiply) the upper and lower limits by a number that places both within the range of temperatures where the solvent is liquid. For example, hydrogen melts at 14 K and boils at 20 K; if you divide by 16 you get 17 K and 19 K, which fits in between those limits. That also works as a zero point feature.
