What is the difference in temperature between the freezing point of water and the normal boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit, Celsius scale and on the Kelvin scale? Explain how you figured this out.
When Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit developed his scale, known as Fahrenheit scale, choose 180 divisions between the freezing point of water and boiling point of water. He choose 32°F to be the freezing point and 212°F to be the boiling point of water.
On the other hand, in Celsius scale, freezing point of water is defined as zero degrees while the boiling point is 100 degrees, having a difference of hundred degrees between these two.
In Kelvin scale the magnitude to difference between two consecutive degrees are same as that of Celsius scale so, there also is hundred units of difference between the freezing point and the boiling point of water. Though in this scale the freezing point of water is equal to 273.14K and boiling point is equal to 374.14K.
