Understanding Temperature

The temperature of water in a beaker measures 87 degrees Celsius.  How many more degrees must the temperature increase to reach the boiling point?

• 23 degrees Celsius
• 212 degrees Celsius
• 13 degrees Celsius
• 100 degrees Celsius

Is the temperature, 0 degrees Celsius, show the melting, freezing, or boiling point of water?

• freezing point
• melting point
• boiling point
• both freezing point and melting point

A glass beaker is placed on a hot plate.  Five hundred milliliters of room temperature water are added to the beaker.  If the temperature continues to increase, the water in the beaker will most likely - 

• turn into a solid
• become more dense
• turn into a gas
• show no change in temperature
