Question

What is the boiling point of water in Fahrenheit?
1. 210ºF
2. 211ºF
3. 100ºF
4. 214ºF
5. 212ºF

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 5 : 212ºF

The correct answer is 212ºF.

• There are three common scales to measure temperature:
  • Celsius scale (ºC)
  • Fahrenheit scale (°F) 
  • Kelvin scale (K)
• K (Kelvin) is the SI unit of temperature.
• The thermometer with Celsius scale is calibrated from 0° to 100°, where 0°C is the freezing point and 100°C is the boiling point of water.
• The Fahrenheit scale is represented between 32° to 212°, where 0ºC = 32ºF and 100ºC = 212ºF.

• The temperatures on the scales are related to each other by the following relationship:
  • Fahrenheit, ºF = \(9 \over5 \)(ºC) + 32.
  • Kelvin, K = °C + 273.15.
