There are actually three commonly used temperature scales used in the world today. In the U.S. the Fahrenheit scale is commonly used. In scientific research and throughout most of the western world the Celsius, or centigrade scale is most commonly used. In some special cases a very low register scale, Kelvin is used.
What else can I help you with?
What is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas?
the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas is called the boiling point.
When will the liquid boil?
When the temperature reaches the correct temperature (boiling point).
What happens to the temperature of a liquid as it changes from a liquid to a vapor?
The liquid vaporizes and the temperature increases as the volume also increases.
What is the boiling point degrees in Fahrenheit?
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
Explain why the boiling point and the melting point can be used to help identify substances-?
It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.
What is relative temperature?
Celsius and Fahrenheit are relative (standardized using the melting and boiling point of water) temperature scales. Kelvin is an absolute, thermodinamic based, temperature scale.
What is it called the temperature at which a liquid boils?
The temperature at which a liquid boils is called its boiling point.
What three standard points define the common temperature scales?
Absolute zero, melting/freezing point of pure water, and boiling point of pure water.
Are Celsius and Fahrenheit two different temperature scales?
Yes, Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different temperature scales used to measure temperature. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with 0°C as the freezing point and 100°C as the boiling point. The Fahrenheit scale, on the other hand, is based on a scale created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, with 32°F as the freezing point and 212°F as the boiling point of water.
How does a substance's boiling point determine its state at room temperature?
A substance's boiling point indicates the temperature at which it transitions from a liquid to a gas. If the substance's boiling point is below room temperature, it will be a gas at room temperature. If the boiling point is above room temperature, it will be a liquid at room temperature.
When was the boiling point of water established?
Slightly back to front. People have been boiling water for ages the "boiling point" ie when it goes from liquid to gas happens at a certain temperature - we choose to call this temperature 100 degrees C (or 212F or 373K) The temperature scales were set up in 1724 for F and 1744 for C and 1848 for K In fact the temperature of boiling water was used as a fixed point to setup C from which K is based.
Are Celsius degree mass Kelvin related?
Celsius and Kelvin are two different temperature scales. Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, where 0°C is the freezing point and 100°C is the boiling point. Kelvin, on the other hand, is an absolute temperature scale where 0K is absolute zero, the theoretical point at which particles have minimal motion. The relationship between the two scales is that a temperature of 0K is equivalent to -273.15°C.
What two scales do scientists use to measure temperature?
Scientists use the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales to measure temperature. The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water at sea level, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point and 100 degrees representing the boiling point. The Fahrenheit scale is another common temperature scale that is commonly used in the United States.
What is the temperature a liquid boils at called?
This is the boiling point.
What is the boiling point for metal?
Boiling point: the temperature when vapours of the material are formed.
How can you use boiling points and melting points to determine a solid liquid or gas that an element would be in at a certain temperature?
If the temperature is below the melting point then the element is a solid.If the temperature is above the melting point but below the boiling point, then the element is a liquid.If the temperature is above the boiling point, then the element is a gas.
How can one determine the boiling point of a substance?
The boiling point of a substance can be determined by heating the substance and measuring the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. This temperature is known as the boiling point.
