A faulty thermometer reads 5 in melting ice and 95 in steam. The correct temperature on absolute scale will be __________ K when the faulty thermometer reads 41. Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Answer: 313. C/100=(x-5)/(95-5) C=(41-5)/(90)×100=40° C T=40+273=313 K

Thermometry & Thermal Expansion

A faulty thermometer reads $5^\circ\text{C}$ in melting ice and $95^\circ\text{C}$ in steam. The correct temperature on absolute scale will be __________ $\text{K}$ when the faulty thermometer reads $41^\circ\text{C}$ .

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 313

$\frac{C}{100}=\frac{x-5}{95-5}$
$C=\frac{41-5}{90}\times100=40^\circ$ C
$T=40+273=313$ K
