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 $^oC$

$^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)$

$^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (212-32)=100^oC$

(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.
