What is the Celsius equivalent of 212°F?

  1. 50°C

  2. 100°C

  3. 75°C

  4. 150°C

The correct answer is: 100°C

To find the Celsius equivalent of 212°F, you can use the conversion formula from Fahrenheit to Celsius, which is: C = (F - 32) × 5/9 Substituting 212 for F in the formula gives: C = (212 - 32) × 5/9 C = (180) × 5/9 C = 100°C This calculation shows that 212°F is indeed equal to 100°C, indicating that option B is the correct choice. The understanding here is that 212°F corresponds to the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure, which is a key concept in both thermodynamics and everyday applications in nutrient processing or chemical reactions. Knowing this relationship enhances your understanding of temperature scales and their significance in various plant operations.
