Two absolute scales A and B have triple points of water defined to be 200 A and 350 B. What is the ratio of TA and TB ?

Options

  1. A47\dfrac{4}{7}
  2. B37\dfrac{3}{7}
  3. C17\dfrac{1}{7}
  4. D71\dfrac{7}{1}

Correct answer

A. 47\dfrac{4}{7}

Step-by-step solution

Given, triple point of water on scale A = 200 A
Triple point of water on scale B = 350 B
We know that triple point of water on absolute scale = 273.16 K
∴ 200 A = 350 B = 273.16 K
∴ 1A=273.16200K1 \text{A} = \dfrac{2 7 3 \text{.} 1 6}{2 0 0} \text{K}
and 1B=273.16350K1 \text{B} = \dfrac{2 7 3 \text{.} 1 6}{3 5 0} \text{K}
If TA and TB are the triple point of water on two scales A and B, then
273.16200TA=273.16350TB\dfrac{2 7 3 \text{.} 1 6}{2 0 0} {\text{T}}_{\text{A}} = \dfrac{2 7 3 \text{.} 1 6}{3 5 0} {\text{T}}_{\text{B}}
TATB=200350=47orTA=47TB\dfrac{{\text{T}}_{\text{A}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{B}}} = \dfrac{2 0 0}{3 5 0} = \dfrac{4}{7} \text{or} {\text{T}}_{\text{A}} = \dfrac{4}{7} {\text{T}}_{\text{B}}.
