What is the temperature of hot water in Rhode Island?

100 degrees
120 degrees
140 degrees
160 degrees

The correct answer is: 120 degrees

The standard temperature for hot water in residential settings is typically set around 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This level is considered safe for use in most household applications such as bathing, cleaning, and cooking. It helps to prevent scalding while still being hot enough to effectively clean and sanitize. Water temperatures above this level can increase the risk of burns and are often discouraged in homes, especially where children or elderly individuals are present. While other temperatures listed may be used in specific industrial or commercial applications, they exceed the recommended standards for home use. Thus, 120 degrees is widely accepted as the optimal temperature for hot water in Rhode Island and similar contexts.
