Question

Which one of the following statements correctly describes the Celsius and the Kelvin temperature scales? a. Both scales assign the same temperature to the steam point, but they assign different temperatures to the ice point b. The size of the degree on each scale is the same c. Both scales assign the same temperature to the ice point, but they assign different temperatures to the steam point d. The Celsius scale assigns the same values to the ice and the steam points that the Kelvin scale assigns e. The size of the degree on the Celsius scale is larger than that on the Kelvin scale by a factor of 9/5

Explanation / Answer

correct options are (b)

ice point in celsius scale = 0 oC

steam point is celsius scale = 100 oC

ice point in kelvin scale = 273 K

steam point in kelvin scale = 273 K

TK = TC +273
