Question

Express the freezing point of water (0°C), the boiling point of water (100°C), and the range spanned by the two temperatures using the Kelvin scale.

Answer 1

The freezing point of water is 273 K and boiling point of water is 373 K.

The range spanned by the two temperatures using the Kelvin scale is 100 K.

Step-by-step explanation:

The freezing point of water = 0°C

The boiling point of water = 100°C

Conversion from degree Celsius to Kelvins

`(T)^oC=273-(T) K`

The freezing point of water in Kelvins = 0°C=
`(0)^oC=273+(0)K=273 K`

The boiling point of water in Kelvins =100 0°C=
`(100)^oC=273+(100)K=373 K`

Range spanned = 100°C - 0°C = 273 K- 373 K = 100 K
