11.5 Two ideal gas thermometers A and B use 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 A and B ?

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

11.5 (a) For Thermometer A

Triple point of water, T = 273.16 K

At this temperature, the pressure in thermometer A , PA = 1.250 *105 Pa

Let T1 be the temperature for the normal melting point of sulphur and P1 be the corresponding pressure. It is given, P1 = 1.797 *105 Pa

From Charles' law, we get PAT = P1T1 , T1 = P1*TPA = 1.797*105*273.161.250*105 = 392.69 K
