To find the temperature of the boiling point of water on the given scale, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Calibration Error The thermometer records the melting point of ice at -5°C instead of 0°C. This indicates a calibration error where the actual temperature is lower than the recorded temperature. ### Step 2: Set Up the Known Points 1. **Melting Point of Ice (Lower Fixed Point)**: - Actual: 0°C ...
