The short answer: 273 K.

The explanation: the conversion between Celsius and kelvin temperature scales is simple: add 273.15 to go from K --> C, and subtract 273.15 to go from C --> K. Since the melting point of ice is 00 Celsius, the melting point in kelvins is (0+273.15), or 273.15K.

Kelvin is

degrees in Celsius+273 degrees kelvin

so if ice melts at 100 C, then...

100+273=373 degrees kelvin is ice's melting point

Supplement. All the above math is good.

BUT ice down here in New Zealand melts at 0oC, so that would be 273oK.

[But it would be certain that ice would very soon melt at 100oC, the boiling point of water.]

Melting point of ice in kelvin?

The diamond has no melting point.  The triple point for carbon is about 11 MPa and about 4600 K.  Rather than melting, carbon sublimes at about 3900 K.


At what temperature does ice melt in Kelvin?

To convert degrees Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. 15 to the temperature. So zero degrees Celsius is equal to 273. 15 Kelvin, the freezing and melting point of water.


What are similarities between Kelvin and Fahrenheit?

1.they both are the scales used to measure the temperature in a thermometer . 2.the reference points taken in these two scales are the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water. 3.if we want to convert one scale from the other they both has 5/9


What is the SI unit for Temp?

Kelvin is the SI unit. 0 Kelvin is equal to -273 degrees centigrade. Kelvin uses the same interval as the centigrade scale. It was created to make zero the lowest possible theoretical temperature (absolute zero). Kelvin is written without a degrees sign and with an uppercase K. e.g. the melting point of ice is 273 K.


At what temperature does ice melt in celsius Fahrenheit and kelvin?

Explain what happens to the temperature of an ice cube as it melts?

Temperature of melting iceis a constant property: it does not change during melting (stays 0oC, this is even one of the the defined value of the Celsius temperature scale)(for any other melting solid the same is valid at each melting point temperature)


Why is the kelvin temperature scale useful?

Our conventional Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature are related to things that we find in our own experience. Zero degrees Celsius is the temperature of freezing water; zero degrees Fahrenheit is the coldest temperature that Dr. Fahrenheit could achieve (in the 1700s) by mixing ice and salt together. The "100 degree" mark in Celsius is the boiling point of water, while 100 degrees Fahrenheit was normal body temperature. (He was a doctor, not a physicist; he got it wrong by 1.4 degrees.) The Kelvin scale is referenced to "absolute" zero, the impossible temperature at which all molecular motion would stop. So with the Kelvin scale, you can measure any temperature and all your numbers will be positive. (Makes the math easier.) The temperature of "absolute zero" is equal to -273 degrees Celsius, and the size of a degree is the same in the Kelvin and Celsius scales. So a nice day here on Earth would be around 300 degrees Kelvin.

In Celsius, ice will freeze below and melt above 0 degrees.


What is the range of temperature on kelvin scale?

Kelvin is a measurement of absolute termperatures and therefore it starts at Absolute Zero the temperature at which even electrons neutrons and all other action no longer has enough energy to occur.


What is the fiducial point on the kelvin temperature scale?

The triple point of water (where you can boil water yet not melt ice; this can only happen with the correct temperature and pressure)
