Best Answer

0o and 100o were arbitrarily allocated to the freezing and boiling points of water respectively.

This gave a range of 100o which was thought to be adequate for its time.

"Watt" is a rate of moving energy. Anynumber of watts can heat your liters,but the less watts you use, the longer the job will take.


60 degrees celsius is how many degrees Fahrenheit?

Start by taking the number in Fahrenheit and subtracting 32. Then divide the number by 9, and then multiply it by 5. This is how you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or use the equation C = (F - 32) × 5/9In this case, the answer is about 15.56 degrees Celsius.


Why would a 0C to 100C thermometer be useless to a doctor examining a patient?

It would not be accurate enough. The clinical thermometer works over a limited range and gives accurate more readings. It would be useful. The temperature of patients rarely drop below freezing and they rarely boil. It would be useless to measure the temperature of food though because food is often cooked above 100C.
