What is the temperature in kelvin at which pure water freezes under standard atmospheric pressure?
A
373 K
B
100 K
C
273 K
D
0 K
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the freezing point of pure water under standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is a well-known physical constant.
Recall that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius (°C).
Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin using the formula: \(T(K) = T(^\circ C) + 273.15\).
Substitute the freezing point in Celsius into the formula: \(T(K) = 0 + 273.15\).
Recognize that the temperature in kelvin at which pure water freezes is approximately 273 K.
