Of water, 212 and 32 degrees, respectively.
The state of water is the standard for a temperature scale. In the Fahrenheit scale O degrees is water's freezing point and 100 degrees is it's boiling point.
32 degrees above zero is the freezing point and 212 degrees above zero is the boiling point on the Fahrenheit scale.
On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point 212 °F (at standard atmospheric pressure), placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.
Apparently to have a 100 degree scale between freezing and boiling. Fahrenheit has the freezing point at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. However, in Celsius, the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees.
The Fahrenheit scale is defined by the freezing and boiling points of water, 32 and 212 degrees respectively.
In Fahrenheit, 32°F is the freezing point of the water and the boiling point is 212°F. Fahrenheit for unknown reasons calibrated his scale so that 0 was the freezing point of salt water and 100 was the internal temperature in his mouth.
His temperature scale set the boiling point of water at 60 and the freezing point at 7.5.
According to Fahrenheit scale, freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and boiling point is 212 °F
On the Celsius scale, the freezing point is 0°C and the boiling point 100°C. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point is 32°F and the boiling point 212°F.
32 ºF is freezing point and 212 ºF is the boiling point.
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit divided boiling & freezing point of water exactly 180degrees apart. Every degree on Fahrenheit scale is 1/180th part of interval between freezing point and boiling point of water.
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit is a person or a temperature scale, while boiling and freezing points are physical properties of chemicals. You need to be specific in asking which chemical's boiling and freezing points. Water has a freezing point of 32 degrees F, and a boiling point of 212 degrees F.
The ice point and steam point that you refer to are called the boiling and freezing point. Each substance has a different boiling and freezing point, though for water it is 0 degrees Celsius is freezing and 100 degrees Celsius is boiling. Or if you use Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit for freezing and 212 degrees Fahrenheit for boiling. So depending on what system of measurement you use for temperature, the number of degrees separating the boiling and freezing points of water can be 100 degrees for Celsius or 180 degrees for Fahrenheit.
On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point 212 °F (at standard atmospheric pressure), placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.
Apparently to have a 100 degree scale between freezing and boiling. Fahrenheit has the freezing point at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees. However, in Celsius, the freezing point is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees.
212 - 32 = 180
The temperature scale "Fahrenheit" is named after the inventor Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686 - 1736), a German physicist who proposed it in the year 1724. In this funny scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point of water 212 degrees Fahrenheit, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.
The difference between the freezing and boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit scale is equal to (9 / 5) x 100 = 180 degrees. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or zero degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius.
