A faulty thermometer reads 5 ° C in melting ice and 95 ° C in steam. The correct temperature on absolute scale will be ______ K when the faulty thermometer reads 41 ° C .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

As per working of thermometers, X - L F P U F P - L F P = constant . Therefore, we can write 41 ° - 5 ° 95 ° - 5 ° = C - 0 ° 100 ° - 0 ° ⇒ C = 36 90 × 100 = 40 ° C = 40 + 273   K = 313   K
