Thermodynamic Celsius scale of temperature measurement is________________?
Correct answer: B. Both B. and C.
- A. Defined on the basis of melting point of ice and evaporation temperature of water vapor
- B. Both B. and C.
- C. Having an interval of 100° between ice point to steam point
- D. Defined on the basis of melting point of ice and condensation temperature of water vapor
Explanation
The Celsius scale assigns 0°C to the ice point and 100°C to the steam point, giving an interval of 100 degrees. Thus both the condensation or steam-point reference and the 100-degree interval are represented by B and C.
