  • On the Celsius scale, what is the boiling point of water?

    100°C.
  • What do we use to classify the temperature?

    Temperature scales such as Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
  • Fahrenheit can be converted to Rankine by adding what number?

    Add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature.
  • What happens when the dew point is below 0°C?

    Water vapor can deposit as frost instead of dew.
  • What is the temperature in kelvin of freezing water?

    273.15 K.
  • Which is a temperature of zero on the Kelvin scale?

    Absolute zero (0 K).
  • In which of the following pairs of characteristics of an element are the temperatures the same?

    The freezing and melting points are the same for a pure substance.
  • At what temperature does water melt?

    0°C (32°F).
  • What is the freezing point of water on the Fahrenheit scale?

    32°F.
  • What's the temperature in the space?

    Outer space has a temperature close to 2.7 K (cosmic microwave background).
  • What would be the temperature in kelvin of 39°C?

    312.15 K.
  • How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?

    Temperature changes can cause phase changes, such as melting or boiling.

    68°F.
  • Which is equal to a temperature of 50°F?

    10°C.
  • What is the difference between heat and temperature?

    Temperature measures average kinetic energy; heat is the transfer of thermal energy.
  • What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature? Check all that apply.

    Specific heat capacity and mass.
  • The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent?

    It represents the average kinetic energy of the water molecules.
  • Which of the following best describes temperature?

    Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.
  • Which of the following temperature changes are equivalent?

    A change of 1°C is equivalent to a change of 1 K.
  • What is the temperature?

    Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

    310.15 K.
  • What does temperature measure?

    The average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
  • At what temperature does water freeze?

    0°C (32°F).
  • Which is the best reason for using a temperature probe instead of a simple laboratory thermometer?

    A temperature probe provides more precise and continuous digital readings.
  • What is the temperature range of the danger zone?

    The danger zone is typically 40°F to 140°F (4°C to 60°C) for food safety.
