Question

which temperature scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert boiling point of water to different scales

• Celsius scale: The boiling point of water is \(100^{\circ}C\).
• Fahrenheit scale: Use the formula \(F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32\). Substitute \(C = 100\), we get \(F=\frac{9}{5}\times100+32=180 + 32=212^{\circ}F\).
• Kelvin scale: Use the formula \(K=C + 273.15\). Substitute \(C = 100\), we get \(K=100+273.15 = 373.15K\).

Answer:

Kelvin scale.
