In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the gas is at the ice point. Determine the pressure at the steam point.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
For a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
Given:
Pressure at ice point,
Absolute temperature at ice point,
Absolute temperature at steam point,
Substituting the values:
Rounding to the nearest integer, the pressure at the steam point is .
