Question

name the SI unit of measuring temperature. The boiling point of water is 100 OC under atmospheric pressure. Convert this temperature in SI units.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin. It is represented as 'K'.
The relation between Kelvin scale and Celsius scale is given as follows:

Temperature in K = (273 + T) K

where T is the temperature in °C

Hence, 100°C on Kelvin scale would be:

= (273 + 100) K = 373 K
