Question

Water boils at 212°F. Which temperature is an equivalent temperature?

Answer 1

Answer : The water boils at
`212^oF` temperature which is equivalent to,
`100^oC` and
`373K` temperature.

Explanation :

The conversion factors used are :

(1) Conversion of
`^oF` to
`^oC`

`^oC=(5)/(9)* (^oF-32)`

`^oC=(5)/(9)* (212-32)=100^oC`

(2) Conversion of
`^oC` to
`K`

`K=^oC+273`

`K=100+273=373K`

Therefore, the water boils at
`212^oF` temperature which is equivalent to,
`100^oC` and
`373K` temperature.

Answer 2

Water boils at 212°F or 100°C or 373 kelvin.

The equivalent temperature could be 100°C or 373 kelvin.
