Thus, the melting point of water would be 273.15 K (0 °C + 273.15).<ref name="Britannica">[https://www.britannica.com/science/kelvin Kelvin] (www.britannica.com)</ref> Likewise, the boiling point of water at pressure 1 atm is 373.15 K (100 °C + 273.15) and the [[triple point]] of water is at 273.16 K.
Thus, the melting point of water would be 273.15 K (0 °C + 273.15).<ref name="Britannica">[https://www.britannica.com/science/kelvin Kelvin] (www.britannica.com)</ref> Likewise, the boiling point of water at pressure 1 atm is 373.15 K (100 °C + 273.15) and the [[triple point]] of water is at 273.16 K.

Thus, the freezing point of water would be 491.6 °R (32 °F + 459.6), and the boiling point of water would be 671.6 °R (212 °F + 459.6).
Thus, the freezing point of water would be 491.6 °R (32 °F + 459.6), and the boiling point of water would be 671.6 °R (212 °F + 459.6).
