State two experiences that made you think that air exerts pressure (other than those given in the text).

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 water",1.250 xx10^(5) Pa,0.200 xx 10^(5) Pa),("Normal melting point of sulphur",1.797 xx10^(5)Pa,0.287 xx10^(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 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 ?
