What is the boiling point of water?
a) 100 °F
b) 671.67 °R
c) 373 °C
d) 212 °r
Answer : b) 671.67 °R
Explanation :
°R represents the temperature measured on Rankine scale.
Typically, boiling point of water is measured as 100 °C on the Celsius scale.
The conversion of Celsius to Rankine scale is, R = (°C × 9/5) + 491.67
We know that, boiling point of water as 100 °C,
R = (100 × 9/5) + 491.67
= 671.67 °R
°F, °r represent the Fahrenheit and Reaumur scale, respectively.
b) 671.67 °R
