Question 11 • Physical Science

Carmen is heating some water and trying to measure the temperature of water using a Celsius thermometer. Which measurement can she expect once the water begins to boil?

Answer
A
212 times degree C
B
32 times degree C
C
100 times degree C
D
373 times degree C

Explanation

At standard atmospheric pressure, water boils at 100°C. So once Carmen’s water begins boiling, her Celsius thermometer should read 100°C. The 212-degree value is the boiling point on the Fahrenheit scale, not Celsius.
