Two ideal gas thermometer `A` and `B` use oxygen and hydrogen respectively . The following observations are made:
Temperature, Pressure therometer A, Pressure therometer B
Triple point of water, `1.250xx10^(5)Pa`, `0.200xx10^(5)Pa`
Normal melting point of sulphur, ` 1.797xx10^(5)Pa`, `0.287xx10^(5)Pa`
(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 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.
