At the triple point of water, a constant volume gas thermometer measures a pressure of . Determine the pressure measured at the boiling point of water (100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}).
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
For a constant volume gas thermometer, the temperature is directly proportional to the pressure .
Given that the pressure at the triple point of water is .
The boiling point of water is 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}, which corresponds to .
Substituting the values into the equation:
