Question

A liquid boils at 100°C. Its temperature can also be expressed as:

• A. 87.5°F
• B. 373K
• C. 173K
• D. 132°F

Answer 1

The correct option is B

373K

Explanation for correct answer:

Kelvin scale:

1. The Kelvin temperature scale is a temperature scale with an absolute zero beyond which no temperatures exist.
2. We know that,

K= C+273

here, C=100°C

So, K= 100+273

=373 K

Thus, 100°C can also be expressed as 373 K on the kelvin scale.

Hence, option B) is the correct answer.
