CONCEPT:

Celsius scale:

  • In this scale, a lower fixed point (ice point) is designated as  and the upper fixed point (steam point) is designated as 100°.
  • The temperature measured on this scale was all in degrees Celsius (° C).

Fahrenheit scale:

  • On this scale of the temperature scale, the melting point of ice is considered to be 32° F and the boiling point of water is 212° F.
  • The change in temperature of 1° F corresponds to a change of less than 1° C on the Celsius scale.

Kelvin scale:

  • We also know the Kelvin temperature scale as the thermodynamic scale
  • On the Kelvin scale, the boiling point of water is considered to be 373.15 K and its freezing point is 273.15 K.
  • It is assumed that at 0 K there is no relative motion of particles,
  • The change in temperature of 1° K corresponds to a change of less than 1° C on the Celsius scale.
  • Whereas all these units of temperatures are related to each other by the following relationship:

\(⇒ \frac{{F - 32}}{9} = \frac{C}{5} = \frac{{K - 273.15}}{5}\)

CALCULATION:

Given  - T = 100C

  • Since the number of divisions in both scales, that is in Kelvin scale and degree Celsius scale is 100, so there will be an equal change in both scales.
  • And each degree change in the Centigrade scale equals a similar change in the Kelvin scale of measurement.
  • Thus, the corresponding rise in temperature of the gas on the Kelvin scale is 10 K. Hence, option 3 is the answer
