Thermometry & Thermal Expansion
The pressure of the gas in a constant volume gas thermometer is 100 cm of mercury when placed in melting ice at 1 atm. When the bulb is placed in a liquid, the pressure becomes 180 cm of mercury. Temperature of the liquid is:
(Given 0 C = 273 K)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- At constant volume, constant:
- K
- So the answer is (d) 491 K.
