Concept explainers
Interpretation: The number of degrees between the normal freezing and boiling of water on both the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales needs to be determined.
Concept introduction: To convert one unit into another, first needs to choose a conversion factor. This cancels the units and omits the units in the result. The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius scale is as follows:
Answer to Problem 45A
There are 100 degrees between the normal freezing and boiling of water on both Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales
Explanation of Solution
In Kelvin scale, freezing point of water is 273K and normal boiling point is 373K. In Celsius scale normal freezing point is
In Kelvin and the Celsius scales, unit of temperature are Kelvin and degree Celsius respectively.
The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius scale is as follows:
