Question
What is the boiling point of water on the Kelvin scale? Convert it into a centigrade scale.
Solution
The boiling point of water on the Kelvin scale is 373 K. Now, K = °C + 273 and °C = K - 273.
The Kelvin scale can be converted to the degree Celsius scale by subtracting 273 So, the boiling point of water on the centigrade scale is 373 K - 273 = 100°C.
