Platinum (ρ = 10.6 x 10^-8 Ω-m, α = 3.927 x 10^-3/C^0) is used as resistance thermometer to measure the boiling point of a solution since it has a high melting point. At 20 ^0C, the resistance of the platinum resistance thermometer is 164.20 Ω. When placed in the boiling solution, the resistance of the thermometer is 227.60 Ω. What is this boiling point?
