In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the differenced in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at the room temperature `27.0^0 C`, the mercury column in the arm open to atmosphere stands `5.00 cm` above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes `45..0 Cm`. Calculate the temperature of the liquid. (Atmospheric pressure `= 75.0cm` of mercury).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the relationship between pressure and temperature in a constant volume gas thermometer. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between pressure and temperature In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure (P) of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature (T) in Kelvin. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \frac{P_2}{P_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1} \] Where: - \(P_1\) is the pressure at room temperature. - \(P_2\) is the pressure at the temperature of the hot liquid. - \(T_1\) is the room temperature in Kelvin. - \(T_2\) is the temperature of the hot liquid in Kelvin. ### Step 2: Convert room temperature to Kelvin The room temperature is given as \(27.0^\circ C\). To convert this to Kelvin: \[ T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K \] ### Step 3: Calculate \(P_1\) At room temperature, the difference in mercury levels is \(5.00 \, cm\). The atmospheric pressure is given as \(75.0 \, cm\) of mercury. Therefore, the total pressure \(P_1\) can be calculated as: \[ P_1 = \text{Atmospheric Pressure} + \text{Difference in Mercury Level} = 75.0 \, cm + 5.0 \, cm = 80.0 \, cm \, Hg \] ### Step 4: Calculate \(P_2\) When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference in mercury levels becomes \(45.0 \, cm\). Thus, the pressure \(P_2\) is: \[ P_2 = \text{Atmospheric Pressure} + \text{Difference in Mercury Level} = 75.0 \, cm + 45.0 \, cm = 120.0 \, cm \, Hg \] ### Step 5: Use the relationship to find \(T_2\) Now we can use the relationship we established to find \(T_2\): \[ T_2 = \frac{P_2}{P_1} \times T_1 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ T_2 = \frac{120.0 \, cm \, Hg}{80.0 \, cm \, Hg} \times 300 \, K \] ### Step 6: Calculate \(T_2\) Calculating the fraction: \[ T_2 = \frac{120}{80} \times 300 = 1.5 \times 300 = 450 \, K \] ### Step 7: Convert \(T_2\) to Celsius To convert the temperature back to Celsius: \[ T_2 (^\circ C) = T_2 (K) - 273 = 450 - 273 = 177 \, ^\circ C \] ### Final Answer The temperature of the hot liquid is \(177 \, ^\circ C\). ---
