A temperature scale with water freezing at 0 degrees and boiling at 100 degrees?
Celsius (or Centigrade)
Why is centigrade scale a good name for the celsius scale?
The scale is based on the freezing point and the boiling point of water (at some standard pressure); between those two temperatures, the scale is divided into 100 intervals. Centi means hundred.The scale is based on the freezing point and the boiling point of water (at some standard pressure); between those two temperatures, the scale is divided into 100 intervals.

Which scale is divided into 100 equal parts between the freezig and boiling of water?
Celsius 100 C = Boiling 0 C = Freezing
Why do scientists use the Kelvin and Celsius scale rather than the Fahrenheit scale?
Celsius is a very accurate measurement between the freezing and boiling points of water. 0 being freezing, and 100 boiling. Kelvin is the measurement of absolute zero, where particles stop moving altogether. Kelvin has the same conversion rating, only 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celsius. The Kelvin scale is an absolute scale. This means that 2 K is twice as hot as 1 K and so on. Neither the Celsius nor the Fahrenheit scales do that. The Centigrade (or Celsius scale are based on the freezing and boiling points of water (at normal pressure), the Fahrenheit scale was not: the 0 was the lowest temperature attained by ice and salt.
Why is the number 32 in the conversion formula for temperature?
When Fahrenheit devised his scale, he defined 0oF to be the freezing point of brine, 32oF to be the freezing point of water and 96oF to be normal body temperature. Water then boiled at about 212oF. The scale was later redefined to make water boil at exactly 212oF whilst leaving water freezing at 32oF (making the freezing point of brine slightly lower and normal body temperature slightly higher). The 32 is needed when converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit as Celsius defines freezing point of water at 0oC which equals 32oF on the Fahrenheit scale. The 180oF difference between freezing and boiling points of water is scaled to match the 100oC difference. Thus the conversion is: F = 180/100 C + 32 = 9/5 C + 32
How many degrees between freezing point and boiling point on the celsius temperature scale?
There are 100 degrees Celsius between the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) on the Celsius temperature scale.
Which temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling?
The Celsius temperature scale has 100 degrees between freezing (0°C) and boiling (100°C) of water.
On the celsius temperature scale how many degrees are between freezing and the boiling point of water?
Freezing = 0 Boiling = 100
What is a temperature scale were freezing is 32and boiling is 112?
There isn't any but if you mean freezing of 32 degrees and boiling of 212 degrees then it is the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
How many Fahrenheits are in a degree?
You are mixing apples and oranges. A degree is a unit of measure. How big the unit is depends upon the scale. Fahreheit is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 180 degrees between boiling and freezing temperature of water. Celsius is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 100 degrees between boiling and freezing termperature of water.
What scale gives water a freezing temperature of 32 F and a boiling temperature of 212 F?
The Fahrenheit scale gives water a freezing temperature of 32 degrees F and a boiling temperature of 212 degrees F.
What is the metric temperature scale called?
The metric temperature scale is called the Celsius scale. The scale divides the range of temperatures between freezing and boiling at standard atmospheric condition into 100 equal parts.
How did Anders Celsius invent his temperature scale?
Anders Celsius invented his temperature scale by proposing a scale with 0 as the boiling point and 100 as the freezing point of water. This was in contrast to the existing scale at the time, which was the reverse. The scale was later reversed after his death to the one we use today where 0 is the freezing point and 100 is the boiling point of water.
What is the temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling point of water?
Celsius scale with freezing point of water = 0 oC boiling point of water = 100 oC
Which scale is divided into 100 equal parts between the freezing and boiling of water?
The Celsius scale is divided into 100 equal parts between the freezing and boiling points of water.
What is the difference between freezing and boiling points on a Fahrenheit scale?
The difference between the freezing and boiling points vary from substance to substance.
How is the Celsius scale constructed?
It is constructed with 0 as the freezing temperature of water, and 100 as the boiling temperature.
