Answer»

Two
ideal gas thermometers Aand Buse oxygen and hydrogen
respectively. The following observations are made:


Temperature Pressure
Pressure



thermometer A
thermometer B


Triple-point
of water 1.250 × 105
Pa 0.200 × 105
Pa


Normal
melting point 1.797 × 105
Pa 0.287 × 105
Pa


of
sulphur




(a) What is the absolute temperature of normal
melting point of sulphur as read by thermometers Aand B?



(b) What do you think is the reason behind the
slight difference in answers of thermometers Aand B?
(The thermometers are not faulty).
What further procedure is needed in the experiment to reduce the
discrepancy between the two readings?
