My science homework questions is:
You measure the boiling temperature of 3 clear liquids. 1 of them boils at 100C. The other 2 at 85C and 115C. How can you use numbers to identify the first liquid?
Can someone help?
Under normal atmospheric pressure, water boils at about 100 degrees C and freezes at about 0 degrees C. It defines the Celsius temperature scale. See

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Of course! To identify the first liquid, which boils at 100°C, we need to compare it to the other two liquids.
First, let's determine the relationship between boiling temperature and the numerical values we have. We know that the first liquid boils at 100°C, the second liquid at 85°C, and the third liquid at 115°C.
Now, we can see that the second liquid boils at a lower temperature than the first liquid (85°C < 100°C), while the third liquid boils at a higher temperature (115°C > 100°C).
To use numbers to identify the first liquid, you can assign each liquid a number or label. For example, let's label the first liquid "A," the second liquid "B," and the third liquid "C."
By comparing the numerical boiling temperatures, we can conclude that liquid A (the first liquid) has the boiling temperature of 100°C.
