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∘^\circ C = 273 K)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. At constant volume, PT=\frac{P}{T}= constant: T273=180100\frac{T}{273}=\frac{180}{100}
  2. T=273×1.8=491.4T=273\times1.8=491.4 K
  3. So the answer is (d) 491 K.
