A gas thermometer determines temperature from the variation of pressure of a gas sample. If the pressure recorded at the melting point of lead is times the pressure recorded at the triple point of water, determine the melting point of lead.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
For a constant volume gas thermometer, the temperature is directly proportional to the pressure .
Given that the pressure at the melting point of lead is and the temperature of the triple point of water is .
Substituting the values:
Rounding off to the nearest integer, the melting point of lead is .
