Temperature Scales and Their Relationships

The video explains the different temperature scales: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. Fahrenheit sets 0° as the freezing point of saltwater and 96° as the temperature of life. Celsius uses 0° and 100° for the freezing and boiling points of water. Kelvin is an offset of Celsius, with 0° representing absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.

What was the original freezing point of saltwater on the Fahrenheit scale?

• 100°

• 96°

• 0°

• 32°

Which temperature scale uses 96° as the temperature of life?

• Celsius

• Kelvin

• Rankine

• Fahrenheit

Which temperature marks the boiling point of water on the Celsius scale?

• 50°

• 0°

• 212°

• 100°

How is the Kelvin scale related to the Celsius scale?

• It is based on the freezing point of saltwater.

• It is the same as the Fahrenheit scale.

• It is an offset of the Celsius scale.

• It uses the boiling point of water as 0°.

What is the significance of 0° Kelvin?

• It is the boiling point of water.

• It is the freezing point of water.

• It is the coldest possible temperature.

• It is the average human body temperature.
