Because the boiling point is so close to 100 and the freezing so
close to 0, I doubt this information will make much practical
difference in the lives of my general education students.
But it is, nonetheless, very interesting trivia, and I will
definitely save this post. I'll probably even forward it to my
students (with your permission, I hope, Jim).
Thanks, Jim, for the
very clear summary of an interesting topic. I think that as physics
teachers we at least ought to be _aware_ that the two temperatures
are not 0 and 100 exactly, and maybe inform our students, at least in
passing.
Do our physics texts contain this information, or do we all have to
go to PChem books to find this?
