Heat and Thermodynamics 6 Question 24

29. A gas thermometer is used as a standard thermometer for measurement of temperature. When the gas container of the thermometer is immersed in water at its triple point 273.16K, the pressure in the gas thermometer reads 3.0×104N/m2. When the gas container of the same thermometer is immersed in another system, the gas pressure reads 3.5×104N/m2. The temperature of this system is therefore …….. C.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 29. 45.68

Solution:

  1. The gas thermometer works at constant volume. Therefore,

Tp or T2/T1=p2/p1 or T2=T1(p2/p1) or T2=(273.16)(3.5×1043×104)K=318.68K

or temperature at given pressure will be

(318.68273)C

 or 45.68C
