Question

In which temperature scale is the temperature for water boiling the highest number? A. Kelvin B. Joule C. Celsius D. Fahrenheit

Answer 1

Correct answer: A. Kelvin

In fact, in Celsius scale, water boils at
`100^(\circ)C`.

In Fahrenheit scale, this value corresponds to

`T(^(\circ) F)= (9)/(5) (100^(\circ) C)+32 =212 ^(\circ) F`

while in Kelvin scale it corresponds to

`T(K)=100^(\circ) +273.15 = 373.15 K`
