how well do your thermometer readings agree with the accepted values for the freezing point and boiling point of water? data: room temp: 25C boiling water: 101C freezing water: -1C how well do your thermometer readings agree with the accepted values for the freezing point and boiling point of water? data: room temp: 25C boiling water: 101C freezing water: -1C how well do your thermometer readings agree with the accepted values for the freezing point and boiling point of water? data: room temp: 25C boiling water: 101C freezing water: -1C

Explanation / Answer

To answer this question about your thermometer, you would have to do the experiment, making sure that you had pure water and that you were working at standard pressure. Accepted values under those conditions are 0°C and 100°C.

So, according to your data:

Boiling water: 101 - 100 = 1 °C

Freezing water: -1 - 0 = 1°C

So in both cases you have a little deviation but only by 1 °C.

Hope this helps
