In a constant volume gas thermometer, the gas pressures are measured to be , , and of mercury at the ice point, the steam point, and within a heated wax bath, respectively. Determine the temperature of the wax bath.
Options
- A150^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}
- B250^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}
- C200^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}
- D300^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}
Correct answer
C. 200^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}
Step-by-step solution
For a constant volume gas thermometer, the temperature is given by the relation:
Given values are:
Pressure at ice point, of Hg
Pressure at steam point, of Hg
Pressure at temperature , of Hg
Substituting the values into the formula:
Given values are:
