Triple point of water is

A

`273.16^(@)F`

B

`273.16 K`

C

`273.16^(@)C`

D

`273.16 R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Triple point of water is `273.16 K`.
`(P_1)/(P_2) = ((T_1)/(T_2))^(4) = ((273-73)/(273+327))^(4) = (200/600)^(4) = 1/81`

A gas thermometer measures the temperature from the variation of pressure of a sample of gas. If the pressure measured at the melting point of lead is 2.20 times the pressure measured at the triple point of water, find the melting point of lead.

Answer the following : (a) The triple-point of water is a standard fixed point in modern thermometry. Why ? What is wrong in taking the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water as standard fixed points (as was originally done in the Celsius scale) ? (b) There were two fixed points in the original Celsius scale as mentioned above which were assigned the number 0^(@)C" and "100^(@)C respectively. On the absolute scale, one of the fixed points is the triple-point of water, which on the Kelvin absolute scale is assigned the number 273.16 K. What is the other fixed point on this (Kelvin) scale ? (c ) The absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T is related to the temperature t_(c) on the Celsius scale by t_(c)=T-273.15 Why do we have 273.15 in this relation, and not 273.16 ? (d) What is the temperature of the triple-point of water on an absolute scale whose unit interval size is equal to that of the Fahrenheit scale ?

Two ideal gas thermometer A and B use oxygen and hydrogen respectively .

(b) What do you think is the reason for the slightly different answers from A and B ? (The thermometers are not faulty). what further procedure is needed in the experiment to reduce the discrepancy between the two readings.
