The boiling point of water depends on any additional chemicals that might be in it, and on the atmospheric pressure. PURE water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at "standard" sea-level pressure of 29.92 inches of Mercury.

How much is 68 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?

neither, it's cool. but that's also wrong because it depends where you live.


False precision is when a number is so precise it's wrong For example body temperature was rounded to 37 degrees Celsius then converted to what Fahrenheit figure which is actually 0.4 degrees off?

The conversion of 37 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit is 98.6 degrees. However, this is only an approximation. The actual conversion is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is considered false precision since the number 98.6 implies a higher level of accuracy than what is realistic in this case.


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.


Why is it wrong to say the temperature of an object is 23 degrees kelvin?

It is wrong to say the temperature of an object is 23 degrees Kelvin because the Kelvin scale does not use the term "degrees." Instead, temperatures on the Kelvin scale are simply expressed in Kelvins. So, the correct way to state the temperature would be 23 Kelvin.


How much is 20 Celsius equal to in Fahrenheit?

f = 32 + 20 X 9/5 = 68

Which is correct - 0 degree Celsius or 0 degrees Celsius?

If I'm not wrong, it should be 0 degrees Celsius.


Why is it fifty degrees hotter on a Celsius scale?

That's wrong. That's not how you convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit.


Name seven countries that still uses degrees celsius?

That is a wrong question, because all countries use degrees Celsius, except the USA. Even Great Britain stopped using degrees Fahrenheit and use now degrees Celsius.

90 degrees celsius is hotter then 210 degrees Fahrenheit?

Three lines, ALL wrong. 90C = 194F so the answer is NO! Besides that "<" is less than, and ">" is greater than!

Why is stratospheric Ozone a gas if it boils at 111.9 ºC?

You have your facts wrong. Ozone boils at -111.9°C. It is warmer than that in the ozone layer. Note that water is sometimes a gas at low temperature, even though it boils at 100°C. Clouds, rain, "humidity".


What does 20 degrees F convert to in C?

The formula for this conversion is C=(F-2)x5/9. The answer is that 20 degrees F= 10 degrees C.The Formula is C=(F-32)*5/9 so 20 F is actually -6.6667 CThe first formula is wrong because the freezing point of water is 32 F or 0 C, so if 20 Fahrenheit is below the freezing point, how can it be converted to above the freezing point in Celsius?

How long for water to boil to 100 fahrnheit?

The definition of 100 degrees Celsius is "the temperature at which water boils under a pressure of one standard atmosphere," so if it's boiling at that pressure it's ALREADY at 100 degrees C; no "minutes" are involved. Also, if you're at less than one standard atmosphere (you're in Denver or something) the water is not going to reach 100 degrees C no matter HOW long you boil it.


What is the legal temperature to close Ohio schools?

50 degrees kelvin Actually, 50 degrees Kelvin is about -370 degrees Fahrenheit, so I'm pretty sure this answer is wrong. And 50 degrees Celsius is about 122 degrees Fahrenheit, so that isn't it either. And I know of no schools that close when the weather is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so there is no way to salvage this answer.
