Question

What is the boiling point of water in kelvins?

Answer 1

Boiling point

• The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor i.e. changes its state at atmospheric pressure is called the boiling point of the liquid.
• Boiling is a bulk phenomenon.

Boiling point of water

• The boiling point of water is ${100}^{\circ }\text{C}$.
• The boiling point of water varies with atmospheric pressure.

Boiling point of water in kelvins

The boiling point of water in kelvin is calculated as follows:-

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{T}\left(\mathrm{K}\right)& =& \mathrm{T}\left({}^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}\right)+273.15\\ & =& 100+273.15\\ & =& 373.15\mathrm{K}\end{array}$

So, the boiling point of water in kelvins is $373.15\text{K}$.
