Chapter 6, Problem 1RCQ

What are the temperatures for freezing water on the Celsius and the Fahrenheit scales, respectively? For boiling water?

To determine

The temperature of water for freezing and boiling point in degree Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Answer to Problem 1RCQ

The freezing point of water in degree Celsius is $0°\text{C}$  and Fahrenheit is $32°\text{F}$. The boiling point of water in degree Celsius is $100°\text{C}$  and Fahrenheit is $212°\text{F}$.

Explanation of Solution

The temperature of ice is $0°\text{C}$. Water starts to freeze when it reaches to $0°\text{C}$. At this temperature the water changes from liquid form to solid form. The freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is $32°\text{F}$.

As temperature of solid ice increases, the ice starts to melt and convert into liquid of temperature $0°\text{C}$. When the temperature increases from $0°\text{C}$ the water continues in liquid form. Water starts to boil when it reaches the temperature of $100°\text{C}$. The boiling point of water is $100°\text{C}$. The boiling point of water in Fahrenheit is $212°\text{F}$.

Conclusion:

The freezing point of water in degree Celsius is $0°\text{C}$  and Fahrenheit is $32°\text{F}$. The boiling point of water in degree Celsius is $100°\text{C}$  and Fahrenheit is $212°\text{F}$.
