Why does 0 Celsius equals 273.15 Kelvin and How does that relate to the triple point of water?
Can you tell me why 0 Celsius equals 273.15 Kelvin and how that relates to the triple point of water?
Sure! 0 Celsius is defined as the temperature at which water freezes, and 273.15 Kelvin is the equivalent temperature on the Kelvin scale. The triple point of water is the temperature and pressure at which water can exist in all three states (solid, liquid, and gas) simultaneously. At this specific point, the temperature is 273.16 Kelvin or 0.01 degrees Celsius.
