Best Answer

You must insert the temperatures, in Kelvin, into the formula. Freezing point of water: 273 K; boiling point of water: 373 K. Thus, you get a Carnot efficiency of (373 - 273) / 373, or about 27%.

Why was Celsius invented?

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.


Are boiling points and freezing points checimal changes?

No, boiling points and freezing points are physical constants that are unique to each substance. The phase change between solid and liquid and between liquid and gas is a physical change.


What is the halfway point between the boiling point and the freezing point?

Accounting for water: freezing is 32 degrees and boiling is 212 degrees. The midway point would be 122 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is the numerical difference between the boiling point and freezing point of water measured in degrees of Fahrenheit and Celsius?

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.


How many degrees are there between the melting point of ice and boiling point of water?

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.
