Dear Wiki Questioner,
The freezing point of water occurs at 273.15 K.
We can calculate this because water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, and we can convert from Celsius to Kelvin with the following Formula:
Temperature in Kelvin = 273.15 + Temperature in Celsius
So if our Temperature of freezing water in Celsius is 0 degrees, we know that our temperature in Kelvin is 273.15 + 0 = 273.15
273.15 K (Note that the degree sign is not used with the Kelvin temperature scale)
Presumming the water is pure and the pressure is standard, the freezing temperature would be 273.15K
273 degrees
273 K
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15 therefore (assuming you are referring to the freezing point of water, 0C) freezing point = 273.15K
The freezing point of water is: 0°C, 32°F or 273.15 KelvinThe boiling point of water is: 100°C, 212°F or 373.15 Kelvin
32 degrees Fahrenheit 'Freezing Point' is an improper statement (i think), and the term 'Melting point' is more commonly used. Everything has a different Freezing/Melting point, so I assume you mean the Freezing/Melting point of water? This is 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 273.15 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.
Firstly, temperatures measured in Kelvin (K) are not degrees but rather, just numbers. However, 373 K is the same as 100 degrees C. At that temperature, pure water begins to boil at sea level.
273 degrees kelvin
The freezing point of water is 0°C, 32°F or 273.15 Kelvin. The boiling point of water is 100°C, 212°F or 373.15 Kelvin. Therefore the difference is 100°C, 180°F or 100 Kelvin.
273.15 degrees Kelvin is the freezing point of water.
273.15K is the melting point of water in kelvin That's not correct; water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, to go from C to K, you add 273 to the Celsius temperature... 100+273 = 373 degrees K
The same as the melting point: exactly 273.15 degrees Kelvin (0 Celsius)
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15 therefore (assuming you are referring to the freezing point of water, 0C) freezing point = 273.15K
The freezing point of water is: 0°C, 32°F or 273.15 KelvinThe boiling point of water is: 100°C, 212°F or 373.15 Kelvin
Different temperature scales have different zero points. The Celsius scale has the freezing point of water as zero degrees. The Fahrenheit has the freezing point of water at 32 degrees. The Kelvin scale has it's zero point at the theoretical coldest temperature. This is equivelent to (note the minus sign) -273.15 degrees Celsius. So the frezing point of water on the Kelvin scale would be (plus) 273.15 degrees Kelvin. Different scales are used for differing purposes. ==========================================
259 K equal -14 oC.
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.
For a given temperature, Kelvin scale will show the highest value. However, a given temperature will be same on Kelvin, Celcius or Fahrenheit scale. E.g. At the freezing point of water, Kelvin will show 273.15 degrees, Celcius will show 0 degrees and Fahrenheit will be 32 degrees. That means, at freezing point of water = 00C = 273.15K = 320F
Both are measures of temperature. Both have 100 Degrees between the freezing point and melting point of pure water at 1 atmosphere of pressure but the difference lies in the value of 0k and 0c. Zero centigrade is the freezing temperature of pure water where as Zero Kelvin is Absolute Zero, which is -273 Degrees Centigrade. Therefore water freezes at 273 Degrees Kelvin and 0 Degrees Centigrade. Water therefore boils at 373 Degrees Kelvin but 100 degrees Centigrade. (All assuming one standard atmosphere of pressure.)
