The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding gas thermometers and liquid thermometers, we need to evaluate both statements and their relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gas and Liquid Thermometers**: - Gas thermometers use the expansion of gas to measure temperature, while liquid thermometers (like mercury thermometers) use the expansion of liquid (mercury or alcohol). - The sensitivity of a thermometer is determined by how much the substance expands with a change in temperature. **Hint**: Consider how different states of matter respond to temperature changes. 2. **Thermal Expansion**: - When heated, solids expand the least, liquids expand more than solids, and gases expand the most. - This means that for a given temperature change, gases will show a larger change in volume compared to liquids. **Hint**: Recall the general trend of thermal expansion in solids, liquids, and gases. 3. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers. - Since gases expand more than liquids for the same temperature change, gas thermometers will indeed be more sensitive. **Hint**: Think about how sensitivity relates to the amount of expansion per degree of temperature change. 4. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that the coefficient of thermal expansion of gas is greater than that of liquid. - The coefficient of thermal expansion for gases is indeed higher than that for liquids, which supports the first statement. **Hint**: Remember that the coefficient of thermal expansion quantifies how much a substance expands per degree of temperature change. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are correct. Statement 2 provides a valid explanation for why gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers. - Therefore, we conclude that both statements are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Answer Option: - Option A: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
