    the heat of a bath in which solid wax melts and is conserved in liquid state without boiling 28: 2 + 1 ⁄ 4: intermediate point between the boiling point of water and the melting point of wax 34: the heat at which water boils vehemently (the temperature at which water begins to boil is given as an additional value in the description, as 33) 40

  3. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures). From 1744 until 1954, 0 °C was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere .

  5. Rømer scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rømer_scale

    The Rømer scale (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁœˀmɐ]; notated as °Rø), also known as Romer or Roemer, is a temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer, who developed it for his own use in around 1702. It is based on the freezing point of pure water being 7.5 degrees and the boiling point of water as 60 degrees ...

  6. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    It is an empirical scale that developed historically, which led to its zero point 0 °C being defined as the freezing point of water, and 100 °C as the boiling point of water, both at atmospheric pressure at sea level. It was called a centigrade scale because of the 100-degree interval. [3]

  7. Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

    Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale was 1 ⁄ 180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water were originally defined to be 100 degrees apart. A temperature interval of 1 °F was equal to an interval of 5 ⁄ 9 degrees Celsius.

  8. Boiling point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

    The standard boiling point has been defined by IUPAC since 1982 as the temperature at which boiling occurs under a pressure of one bar. [6] The heat of vaporization is the energy required to transform a given quantity (a mol, kg, pound, etc.) of a substance from a liquid into a gas at a given pressure (often atmospheric pressure).

  9. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    Melting points (in blue) and boiling points (in pink) of the first eight carboxylic acids (°C). For most substances, melting and freezing points are approximately equal. For example, the melting and freezing points of mercury is 234.32 kelvins (−38.83 °C; −37.89 °F). [2]
